Bill has to tell, but I think so. I suggested to him this might be
because of dm-multipath, multipath.conf might blacklist here. My nodes
are plain EL6 and I have multipath enabled - but I do not know if
ovirt-node filters for dm-mp devnodes only by default (this would make
sense because of iscsi-multipathing in ovirt 3.4).

Maybe you can help out on this topic?

Thanks!
