Hosted engine runs as VM on one of the hosts. But not necessarily on the first one (it can even move if it decides so). > Why can't the hosted engine run on its own host? Well you can always run the engine on a physical node directly too. The question is why would you want that when hosted engine gives you fail-over and reliability features. So I would install Node on all four hosts, enable all of them for hosted engine and enable three of them for Gluster if hyperconverged is what your want.
