I tested oVirt (4.3? I can't remember) last fall on a single host 
(hyperconverged).

Now, I'm getting ready to deploy to a 3 physical node (possibly 4) 
hyperconverged cluster, and I guess I'll go ahead and go with 4.4.
Although Red Hat's recent shift of CentOS 8 to the Stream model, as well as the 
announcement that RHV is going away makes me nervous. I really don't see any 
other virtualization software doing quite the same stuff as oVirt at the 
moment. 

One of my questions is around the back end out-of-band network for data 
replication.
What happens if all 3 servers are healthy and the normal network is fine for 
serving traffic to the VM consumers, but the switching network for data 
replication goes down? Is it possible to configure oVirt to "fail over" to the 
front-end network?I'm also wondering if its possible to do away with a switch 
all together, and just link the physical hosts together directly (like a 
cross-over cable) for the data replication.

I'm also wondering what would happen in the following scenario:

-   All 3 servers are healthy
-   The out-of-band data replication network is healthy
-   1 or 2 of the servers suddenly lost network connectivity on the front-end 
network

What then? Would everything just keep working, and network traffic be forced to 
go out the healthy interface(s) on the remaining hosts?
