HPE VM Essential using hosts hdds as a single storage as like vSAN

I have two HPE DL360 gen 11 servers and I have installed HPE VM in them. Now, I want to add the both server in a cluster. But As I don't have an externat storage at this moment. So, I want to combine the remaining local storage as like vSAN.  So, that if somehow one server/host goes down I can still access all the VMs. Can anybody help me on this?

You can configure CEPH ( which is HCI like VMware VSAN )

Refer the requirments here for CEPH - https://hpevm-docs.morpheusdata.com/en/latest/infrastructure/clusters/mvm.html?highlight=ceph#base-cluster-details

Also when creating a cluster select hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) LAYOUT for CEPH 

https://hpevm-docs.morpheusdata.com/en/latest/infrastructure/clusters/mvm.html?highlight=ceph#provisioning-the-cluster

**This will require a minium of three nodes, since you only have two nodes this will not be suitable.
