The hosted-engine needs to communicate with the hosts for management
operations; this happens over a logical network called management network.
The hosts have to communicate with the storage, you can create an
additional logical network with different addressing for that; the engine
doesn't need any direct access to the storage which is always mediated by
the hosts.

For simplicity, if feasible in your environment, I'd suggest to create an
additional storage dedicated logical network on your hosts instead of
playing with manual injected firewall rules over the management one.
