Just an addition: your first host will be automatically added to your
engine so you don't have to do anything special on that.
hosted-engine on the other side, is using a dedicated storage domain for
the engine VM and you cannot use it for other VMs so you still need to add
a second storage domain for regular VMs.

Take care that loopback mounting NFS could lead to deadlocks:

On a single host with the storage on the same host iSCSI seams more
reliable.
