Hi Chip, You are absolutely right, configuring a Management Interface on XenServer, using a Primary Storage CIDR, which is different to the main Management Interface CIDR, will send traffic destined for Storage over that interface (Bond).
We typically create the Storage Bond with XenCenter before adding the Host to CloudStack, then after adding the Host, add Primary Storage using the CloudStack API specifying the Primary Storage IP or FQDN and Cloudstack takes care of the rest.

But yes, if you want to send traffic from the host to primary storage via a dedicated NIC, I've found that you have to implement the datastore on the host before telling CloudStack about it.
