Are you using cluster version 3.0 or 3.1?
I have been using 3.1 as it's the default. Is the different just the
API updates? All I could really find related to 3.0 vs 3.1 pertaining
to networking was this document
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/Design/Network/SetupNetworks

Unfortunately, oVirt supports setting only the default gateway of the Host
(This is the field you saw in the management network).
We could theoretically use initscripts' static routing files, but that is left for
future development.
So for now, is it then easier to just run all public interfaces
through the same subnet/gateway? The main reason to run management
via 100Mbps and everything else 1Gbps was that our campus is out of
IPs so we're attempting to conserve on the usage of gigabit IPs.

I didn't quite understand what you did here..
What I think you meant is:
1. You edited the network on a NIC, and provided static boot protocol
with the parameters (ip, netmask).
2. After that when you clicked OK then the configuration was sent to
the Host, and in the "Network Interfaces" tab for the Host you could
see the IP in the "Address" column. On the host the ifcfg script for
this network had these fields set.
--- Assuming that no restart of Host or VDSM on Host was done ---
3. You edited the network again, didn't change anything, and clicked OK.
4. This time, the boot protocol info was gone from display & ifcfg file
on the Host.
Is this correct?
Also do you by any chance have the log files of ovirt (engine.log)/vdsm
(vdsm.log) with the flow that you did?
I'll try to clarify the steps I took a little better, sorry if it was
unclear before.
1. Create logical network in Cluster that was NOT a "VM Network" (my
assumption of how to setup a storage network)
2. Edit NIC on host, set boot protocol to static and provide
IP/Netmask, and select the logical network created in #1, check "Save
network configuration"
3. After clicking OK the corresponding ifcfg file on the node was
modified, but the values for IP/Netmask were missing. Also the values
did not appear in the network interface list, and were not shown when
going to that same interface and selecting "Add/Edit" again
That process did not involve a reboot of the host.
So in the host interface eth5 I set the following via web interface
Network: private1
Boot Protocol: Static
IP: 10.20.1.241
Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0
Check: Save network configuration
After the save the node's ifcfg-eth5 is touched (based on modified
date in ls -la) but this is all it contains
DEVICE=eth5
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none
HWADDR=00:1b:21:1d:33:f1
NM_CONTROLLED=no
MTU=9000
As far as I can tell the only setting from ovirt-engine that made it
to that file was the MTU setting defined when creating the logical
network for the cluster.
Is my process somehow wrong or am I missing a step? I've done this
with the node being in both "Up" status and "Maintenance", same
results.
As a test I manually updated the IP/Netmask of ifcfg-eth4 and it shows
up in the web interface with the correct information however any
changes via the web interface will remove the IPADDR and NETMASK
lines.

Attached logs from the host and engine. Host - node_vdsm.txt and
Engine - engine.txt.
The only issues I see are two deprecation notices from vdsm.
Thanks
