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.
