The fact that you can't run NFS on an RHEV-H machine is not at all clear from the documentation (or it is buried so deep somewhere you have to really look for it).
If all the storage has to be external, it would seem that the RHEV-H system could use a fairly small disk and you would have an RHEL machine somewhere that would have a lot of disk storage. Why didn't they say that in the docs?
I'm afraid that some of the documentation for RHEV leaves something to be desired--have found some omissions and misstatements. Doesn't help when you're a "newbie" to RHEV.

Well, the fact that you need to use centralised storage is mentioned and obvious. RHEV-H everywhere is described as a stripped down build of RHEL, meant to only be used as a hypervisor. Where have you seen only a hypervisor that is also an NFS server?
You could, on the same note, complain that the documentation doesn't mention you can't run Windows minesweeper on RHEV-H
