I guess you're looking for this feature:

http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/mixed-types-data-center/

however you need to do this via a shared DC type as mentioned in the
above link.

Some bugs tracking this feature are mentioned here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1134318

However I'm not quite sure if this is fully implemented yet..

kind regards

Sven
