Well, yes, I should add some routing logic before/during migration but it
should work

Yep, I'm with HE. Does anyone know if HE engine can be changed?

Luckily storage is already on another vlan/network

Well I have a mix of physical hosts (excluding oVirt cluster obviously) and
VM that are all on the same network right now, which is the ovirtmgmt
network too, and I don't want to have special routing rules only for VMs.

Thanks for the tips!
