Have you tried this?

No, I was told by someone else (in IRC I believe) that only Fedora could
be used as a node... I would much rather use EL6.5 (CentOS)...
What/where is the proper RPM for this platform?

That was true until during the oVirt 3.2 release cycle, but we have had
an EL6 Node for a while.

oVirt Node is a stripped down OS image - installing the Node packages on
a minimal EL6 install has also worked since the 3.2 series.


just to clarify - there are two types of hosts:
- ovirt-node - stripped down, ESXi like. some workflows of deploying
  and updating it are simpler as its image based
- normal linux - just configure the yum repos, and ovirt-engine should
  configure everything else.

both types have fedora and .el6 support, and an ubuntu for 'normal linux' type is making progress as well.

(and yes, it seems the ovirt-node one for 3.3 required a much needed set of fixes)

Thanks,
