This is the point: the OVirt implementation of iSCSI-Bonding assumes 
that all network interfaces in the bond can connect/reach all targets, 
including those in the other net(s). The fact that you use separate, 
isolated networks means that this is not the case in your setup (and not 
in mine).

I am not sure if this is a bug, a design flaw or a feature, but as a 
result of this OVirt's iSCSI-Bonding does not work for us.

Please see my mail from yesterday for a workaround.

cu,
Uwe
