Integration with RHEV/oVirt

Hi,

I'm in the process of attempting to automate the build of RHEV VM's using
Foreman and Puppet - and I was hoping for a bit of advice.

I am running Foreman 1.2.1, Puppet 3.2 and RHEV 3.2, with RHEL 6.4. The
puppetmaster, Foreman and RHEV-M all run on separate machines.

Can anyone advise where I install the foreman-ovirt package - is it on the
RHEV box, the Foreman box, or a separate foreman-proxy instance somewhere?
I'm confused with the integration, I would have guessed some kind of api
type integration in the Foreman interface, or a plugin for the ovirt/RHEV
interface, but I'm not sure what to aim for.

Also, can anyone point me at some documentation or howto type documents
that might simplify the config? I'm probably missing a totally obvious
puppet class that does the whole thing.

And if I've not asked enough already, is RHEV 3.2 tested with Foreman?

Many thanks!

If the process is the same as when ovirt integration was first introduced, the package needs to be on the server running the Foreman Rails app. The Foreman application makes API calls to oVirt via fog to perform tasks. Someone else will have to comment on RHEV being supported, but I imagine it will work as ovirt is upstream to RHEV.

As for docs, I would check the Foreman website and wiki, I'd give links but on mobile device.

Thanks Trey, that pointed me to the fog sources, which directed me to the
foreman-compute package, which, after some thought, meant I went back to
the gui. Lo and behold, if I go to 'Provisioning', then 'Compute
Resources', I can add a new oVirt compute resource! Just what I wanted,
and probably should have seen earlier. Couldn't see for looking.

Thanks!
