Thanks Arsène, I have vhostmd running on the ovirt node and have set the sap_agent to true on the VM configuration. I also stopped and started the VM to ensure that the config change took effect.
On the oVirt node I see the vhostmd running and see the following entry in the qemu-kvm output: drive file=/dev/shm/vhostmd0,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk701,readonly=on,format=raw -device virtio-blk-pci,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x8,drive=drive-virtio-disk701,id=virtio-disk701 The part I wasn't quite understanding was how this presented itself on the VM but I now see a new disk device "/dev/vdb". If I cat the contents of /dev/vdb I now see the information that is provided from the ovirt node, which is great news and very useful. Thanks for your help.

Vhostmd is running and updating the /dev/shm/vhostmd0 on the ovirt node. The part I'm stuck on is: "This disk image is exported read-only to guests. Guests can read the disk image to see metrics" from http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hook/vhostmd/ Does the hook do this by default? I don't see any new read-only device mounted in the guest. Is there additional work I need to do to mount this and access the data from within the guest?
