No experience there but I can make some suggestions.

The upcoming self-hosted engine feature I mentioned before should have
built-in HA for these kind of situations.
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine

Another option: AFAIK oVirt engine configuration is all in the database,
configure it with an external DB and use postgres replication to have a
warm standby DB on your secondary location, combine this with
some kind of (rsync?) replication of OS/configuration.
