We have a dedicated migration network in oVirt 3.3, which means all the
migration network is using a dedicated network and not the management
network.
The caveat is that we still did not add support for capping it's bandwidth.
The problem you detailed above can be bypassed by configuring the
migration network on a dedicated interface.

yes that is correct, using ovirtmgmt for non management traffic is not a
good idea.

Generally there two ways to go about this:
1. add a new network role 'gluster replication' and then adjust the
engine code to pass the network with this role as parameter to the
replication verb in VDSM.
2. in the replication verb in the UI let the user choose which network
to use for the replication.
I am not familiar with the replication verb so I might be missing
something but otherwise I think that solution 2 is more simple and less
invasive then requiring a new network role.

livnat - would network QoS cover this?
Network Qos is needed in addition to what I have specified above. and it
would be available in oVirt 3.4 hopefully, but if you use a dedicated
network as suggested above you can bypass the traffic shaping issue by
using a dedicated NIC.
Livnat
vijay/sahina - does it make sense to define a 'gluster
replication
network' or something like that?
