You have to distinct option to use a single host:
1. all in one: the physical host contains either the engine and VDSM to control itself as an hypervisor: http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/AllInOne
2. hosted engine: the physical host acts only as a managed hypervisor witch runs a VM for the engine: http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto

Option two makes easy to migrate to an ha configuration adding than a second host; option one is probably easier.

Follow above links.
