internal network for rhevm
I am trying to map our existing network topology to RHEV. We have 2 bonded(active-standby) networks - internal and external network. Typically internal network is reliable and prefered for inter node communication. The internal network also hosts storage network. External network is accessible from external world and is connected to a an external L2 device and it is also not very reliable. Every host has an interface on internal and external network.
From what i understand RHEVM and RHEVH communicate with each other using the rhevm network. Can i make rhevm network ( the network used by RHEV-M and RHEV-H communicate ) use internal network? Typically internal network doesn't have SSH access from outside. Will this work? Do you have any specific requirements on the rhevm network?

Yes, and this is the recommended network configuration.

Only RHEV-M need ssh access to the hypervisors. SSH access from other sources are not needed for RHEVM to work unless you need it to to log in to hypervisors from the external network for troubleshooting purpose.
