Perhaps showing my ignorance, but...
Can't you set up three virtual tagged bridges in ovirt? Each bridge
would be tagged with the proper vlans, and then connect to the correct
VMs? Is there something that prevents you from creating tagged bridges
that all link into a non-tagged physical NIC?
Or, possibly, could you set up the physical NIC for all the vlans and
then split them out into the separate virtual bridges?
This should prevent the admin on VM1 from accessing the vlans of the
other VMs because they are attached to different (tagged) bridges. Or
is there something that prevents this approach?

That's what I understood
I don't have problem configuring VLANs on nics and switches, I've already
done many times
What I said is
If I have 3 VMs
VM1 needs vlan1 and 2
VM2 needs vlan3 and 4
VM3 needs vlan5 and vlan6
for security reason I don't want any of these VM to be able to "see"
traffic of other VLAN
I will need 3 interfaces, one per trunk
Could Vswitch be the solution ? It seems to be implemented in ovirt, but
documentation looks very poor ( or I didn't find the documentation ;) )
I'm not a security expert.
For sure If you don't trust the sysadmin of the VMs operating system or if
anyone has access to the virtual console so it could attach a live distro and
so on.... you had better to have 3 different physical network adapters on your
hypervisors and create on them
trunk for id 1 and 2 on first
trunk for id 3 and 4 on second
trunk for id 5 and 6 on third
But from a functionality point of view (and also segregation if you don't
modify configuration of OS) you can have only one physical adapter on
hypervisor, allow id 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 on it and then configure
on VM1 OS configure ifcfg-eth0.1 and ifcfg-eth0.2 files
on VM2 OS configure ifcfg-eth0.3 and ifcfg-eth0.4 files
on VM3 OS configure ifcfg-eth0.5 and ifcfg-eth0.6 files
It depends on who manages ovirt infrastructure, network infrastructure and OS
infrastructure and if they are different people...
I don't know if any virtualization vendor can provide the level of security
you want using only one physical adapter....
