I just wanted to follow-up so that it is documented on how to get this
working on oVirt/RHEV. I had to install a VDSM hook to allow mac-spoofing
as a VM custom property like so (on each node):
yum install vdsm-hook-macspoof
That requires a restart of vdsmd on the node as well as a process on the
oVirt/RHEV engine:
engine-config -s "UserDefinedVMProperties=macspoof=(true|false)"
Which then requires a restart of the oVirt/RHEV engine.
After that, there will be an available custom properly on the VM called
'macspoof' that can be set to 'true'. Once I did this and shutdown/powered
on the VMs, the cluster setup now completes successfully. You learn
something every day.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The one thing I wish I had
on these VMs is the ovirt-guest-agent which would likely work except that
Debian 6 doesn't seem to have python-ethtool package/deps. If there are
any plans to update the version of Debian that ZLB is based on, let me know.

RE: command-line tools.
Not to keep pushing :) But, I was curious about performing basic actions
via command line to take systems/IPs down/up (in or out) of farms/pools.
Is there a method one could use to be able to do that. My thinking is that
when upgrading components, I'd like my config management (Ansible in my
case) to be able to run something that would take a system out of the pool
and then put it back in after (maybe even with some level of
confirmation). It would also be helpful to be able to view the number of
connections to a host via the command line to control the process (don't
proceed until there are no more connections to this host/IP). Let me know
if there is any direction for that for me to head into...
Thanks again!
Chris
