Now it is fully supported and no need to use the workaround of having NFS running locally
Main upstream doc here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Deploying_Self-Hosted_Engine.html Main downstream doc with more details here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/1.6/html/deploying_red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/index deployment workflow here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/1.6/html/deploying_red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/deployment_workflow and after initial host configuration steps you will arrive at the step of cockpit configuration where you choose the "Hyperconverged" option (at the right) and then button "Run Gluster Wizard For Single Node": https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/1.6/html/deploying_red_hat_hyperconverged_infrastructure_for_virtualization/task-config-rhgs-using-cockpit HIH, Gianluca
