While creating storage domain, the host provided in "Use host" is the 
one used to initially setup the connection to the storage.
In case of gluster storage domain, if like you said, you want to 
separate storage servers from hypervisor hosts - you would set up the 
gluster volume using bricks on Host-04, Host-05, Host-06.
And in oVirt create a cluster with your hypervisor hosts - Host-01, 
Host-02 and Host-03. To create a data storage domain - use any of the 
hosts (01-03) and provide path to gluster volume as host-04:/<volname>

In case of hyperconverged setup, the gluster volume can be setup on 
Host-01, Host-02, Host-03 itself. Check
