Hi,
I'm in the process of building a second ovirt cluster within the default
DC. This new cluster will use the same storage domains as the original
cluster, and I will slowly migrate VMs from the old cluster to the new.
Given that the old and new cluster hosts have a firewall between them I
need to ensure that all relevant ports are open, with particular attention
to the correct operation of SPM.
Is it sufficient to open TCP ports 16514 and 54321 to achieve this?
Thanks,
Alan

How do you make the new cluster to use the same storage domain as the
original one ? Storage Domains in oVirt are a bit confusing and less
flexible and I am not sure it allows it, does it ?

It's my understanding that when you activate a host part of the process is
to verify that it can connect to all active storage domains. If it cannot
connect to any domain then it will refuse to go to the "up" state. In my
case the storage domains are FC so completely outside the TCP/IP stack.

Just found this in the RHV docs. I think sections 2.8 to 2.12 cover
everything you could wish to know about SPM process. It made it clear for
me anyway. Once SPM is elected then all communication is via the storage
domain, no TCP/IP comms required.

One note:
when you say:
I will slowly migrate VMs from the old cluster to the new.
what do you mean exactly with "migrate"?
If you mean Live Migraton as described here:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_
Enterprise_Virtualization/3.5/html/Administration_Guide/
sect-Migrating_Virtual_Machines_Between_Hosts.html
please note that you can live migrate a VM only within the same cluster,
not across.
You can edit a VM of a datacenter and change the cluster where it have to
start, but you have to first shutdown the VM to do so.
Probably you already considered this and the related potential downtime for
your services.

I am planning to live migrate VMs. From my testing this works fine
providing cross cluster hosts can talk to each other and they share a
common migration network.
