If I understand right, you have 2 interfaces on each of your hosts, and 
you want oVirt to communicate via 1 interface and glusterfs to use other?

While adding the hosts to oVirt you could use ip1 and then.while 
creating the volume, add the brick using the other ip address.
For instance, gluster volume create <volname> 192.168.1.2:/bricks/b1

Currently, there's no way to specify the IP address to use while adding 
a brick from oVirt UI (we're working on this for 3.6), but you could do 
this from the gluster CLI commands. This would then be detected in the 
oVirt UI.
