Hi Jason, Hosted Engine was designed to work with a shared storage since all hosts need to share information on their status, and by that support high-availability for this VM.
If you do not need high-availability you can use RHEV appliance to get a VM running with the engine inside. Remember that failure of this host will kill the engine VM as well.
