No oVirt doesn't support using the GlusterFS cluster as iSCSI target as
it supports glusterfs native. So you won't get any GUI support from ovirt..

There has been some work done on using GlusterFS in their own community
http://blog.gluster.org/2013/12/libgfapi-and-the-linux-target-driver/ .

But it appears to have stalled a bit

Head over to the glusterfs mailinglist for more info.
