Hello,

Thank you for the detailed reply.

Yes, the vms are used an independent network/network interfaces for access the internet.
So, in this case I could separate the high glusterfs traffic from ovirt management traffic when I disable "vm" network on ovirtmgmt interface.

I will try-out this night this feature.

Thanks a lot,

Tibor
