Well yes there is local storage in production at various sites.
For real HA you inevitable need a shared storage solution.

You could try to utilize local disks by using gluster ceph
or any other software defined storage system.

Gluster is the most integrated withing ovirt, but here are some
caveats:

It's not encouraged to run vms on the hosts which are part of the
gluster cluster (but it works, at least this is what you can read on
this very ML).

It's not supported to run hosted-engine on top of gluster, at least
not without a replica count of at least 3.
