nope - heartbeat does no storage-management for you. There are 2 ways,
you could take:
1) external Storage: 
2) Shared-Nothing in your cluster

1) needs additional Hardware for Storage and this should also be HA, so
this will end up in an additional Cluster :)

2) use drbd, ocfs2 on your nodes and your done. drbd replicates your
"local disk" to other nodes (something like raid1-over-network). If you
format this drbd-volume with a cluster-FS like ocfs2 you could write
parallel from many nodes to this volume.
