I've set up almost the described combination (I do run the vm-engine on 
a separate laptop), and found that running the commandline stuff in a 
screen helps a lot, the setup commands can then complete instead of 
being interrupted as your (ssh-)session is killed.

I also enountered the same issue of network connection loss as the 
ovirtmgmt-interface took over my primary connection, but I was able to 
continue as I  had several network devices on my hardware which I had 
already configured, and was able to access the server through them.

If you only have one network interface, then I would recommend running 
the commands in a screen, and in the case of losing the connection, 
reconnect to the screen through the KVM.
