Hi Charles,
We use an Ethernet cable to connect between the hosts through 10G port.
We want to use the guest VM's hosted on different hosts 10G network. oVirt
already supports SR-IOV. So we should guest 10G speed for our VM's.
In KVM we can create a second bridge and add the 10G interface to the
bridge would do the trick.
But in oVirt how do we do this? We want to use our OVs network, which was
created using OVN Provider.

Hi Suresh,
You would need to connect the two OVN instances somehow. If it's just
two single hosts, I think the easiest way would be to create a VPN
connection between the two hosts with OpenVPN or the like and then add the
tun/tap interfaces into the OVN on each box. You might run into problems
if you start adding more hosts though, as if the host with the VPN goes
down it would disconnect the two datacenters.
If the two datacenters are on the same physical network (ie, you just
mean oVirt datacenter and not different colocation providers) then adding a
VLAN to the NICs connected to the OVN interface would work. You would
probably have to setup some sort of channel bonding/LACP as you add more
hosts, but OVN should be able to handle that simply enough.
