Thank you in advance for your feedback.
1. the main usage of ovirt is for clusters with shared storage. 2. that said, local storage is also supported. 3. to add another storage domain, create a path on the host to that storage, give permissions/owner to vdsm (36:36), go to the webadmin and "add storage domain" of type local with relevant path.
