You should configure your LAG with this options (custom mode on oVirt):

mode=4 miimon=100 xmit_hash_policy=2 lacp_rate=1

An tell to your network admin configure switch:
"Give me lacp timeout short with channel-group mode active. Also set 
port-channel load-balance src-dst-mac-ip (or src-dst-ip\src-dst-mac)".

You also need to understand that LACP balancing works 'per flow'. You 
can take 2 hosts and run "iperf -c xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -i 0.1 -d",
and on one phy interface you should see 1Gb RX, and on another phy 
interface 1Gb TX.
