If you have only one host then:
- have that host export a couple of nfs shares, through /etc/exports
- install hosted-engine rpms on the host
- run hosted-engine-setup, following directions, this will:
-- install the vm in one of the nfs shares
-- installs ovirt-engine INSIDE the vm
-- installs the ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker on your host which
will start the hosted-engine vm
- if the vm is up then you can access its webui and you'll be able to
add an additional storage domain (NFS) which will hold you other VM disks
- make sure dns info is correct, you use static ip addressing, don't use
NetworkManager
