I don't know much of ScaleIO, but at least since Liberty release it can be
configured as a cinder backend driver in Openstack
http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/ScaleIO-cinder-driver.html
http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/config-reference/block-storage/drivers/emc-scaleio-driver.html

So the more "natural" way that comes to mind is to interface oVirt with
cinder and configure ScaleIO in cinder in similar way as with Ceph backend
http://old.ovirt.org/Features/Cinder_Integration

But this implies configuring Openstack too and also I don't know how the
security part (see ceph authentication in above link), if present in
ScaleIO, could be managed

HIH searching a solution
