Well i just want each physical node to have some independencies. I will

What does glusterfs does actually? I have heard of it but never really
know its use.
With GlusterFS you can create a NAS out of standard x86 hardware. E.g.
you have 4 nodes with 1TB of local storage each you create a
distributed-replicated GlusterFS-volume which has a size of 2TB, but it
still works fine even if 2 nodes fail.
See gluster.org for more detailed information: http://www.gluster.org/about/
Also PLEASE how do i go ahead and setup ovirt to use the "LOCAL STORAGE"
of the physical nodes?
Simply put your host into maintenance mode (Host - Maintenance) and
select "Configure Local Storage" afterwards. You have to specify a
folder which should contain your vm disk images on this host and oVirt
configures the storage domain for you.

Sure you can use the "Local storage" feature.
What's the reason you don't want NFS? IS it because you don't want
to have a dedicated storage or because you want to separate your vm
storages? If it's the dedicated storage you could have a look at
GlusterFS, otherwise you can for sure use the local disks.
Can ovirt do this?
It is ok to have ISO images on the ovirt-engine/management host
but i do
not want NFS or Shared storage when it comes to the hosts in the
infrastructure.
In oVirt 3.4.1 you have to use either NFS or POSIXFS - so there's a
need for a NAS...
Please advice.
Thanks!!!
