I’m running 3.6 with local NFS for the hosted engine. I have more than one host 
but they are all isolated and export they storage via local NFS. Setup has been 
running since 1 year now.

 

Maye you can give it a try?

 

Cheers,

Chris

Subject: [ovirt-users] oVirt on a single server

 

My current understanding is that oVirt no longer supports any single-server 
configuration since the All-In-One install was removed in 3.6.  While the 
hosted-engine install was supposed to replace it, it requires either networked 
storage (nfs, iscsi) or Glusterfs.  To my knowledge nfs/iscsi exported to 
localhost is not supported, so I would need at least 2 machines.  Furthermore 
Gluster requires at least 3 sources of storage for quorum (it would be great if 
there was an option to acknowledge the risks and continue), meaning a single 
machine is not practical.

 

I understand and acknowledge that oVirt is not targeted towards homelab setups, 
or at least small homelab setups.  However I believe that having a solid 
configuration for such use cases would be a benefit to the project as a whole.  
It allows oVirt to be much more visible in the homelab community, and more 
accessible to testing which in turn yields more people who have experience with 
oVirt.  As it stands most other virtualization products allow for usage (not 
just a livecd) in a single server environment, although not all features can be 
used of course.  vSphere, Xenserver, Proxmox, FIFO, and Nutanix all allow an 
installation on a single server. It appears that oVirt/RHV is the odd-one out - 
and it honestly shows when you look at what people talk about online - there is 
a huge gap between even Proxmox and oVirt when it comes to mindshare in the 
tech community, and it does not favor oVirt.
