Hey Daniel, Thanks for your comments. First, I do mention the requirement for having ovirt_provision_plugin installed in bullet 2: """Add oVirt Provision Plugin: "yum install ruby193-rubygem-ovirt_provision_plugin" \ "foreman-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-ovirt-provision" (Not available yet) """ Indeed, I read that. My reasoning at this point it might be too late in

This is the point witch was entirely unclear for me in my first attempt and it took me a while to find out.
While the discovery plugin is needed (only) for Bare-Metal Provisioning, the ovirt provider is always needed for the integration to succeed.
I did think about a hint early on describing the workflow briefly in the detailed description section: - Make sure Foreman is running at version X - Install RPMs in Foreman (see Bare-Metal Provisioning) - Go to engine, "Adding foreman provider"
I don't see why the current way we arrange the page is misleading. We have under "Detailed Description" 3 levels which have different prerequisites - Adding installed Foreman hosts as oVirt hosts - which just requires foreman setup, Bare-Metal Provisioning - which requires many things. starts with the ovirt plugin, discovery plugin, configuration of hostgroups computeresource medias and ends with setting the provisioning templates accordingly for node installation. and last - Future Plans: VM provisioning which still in declaration phase.
next foreman build foreman-installer will include the --enable-foreman-plugin-ovirt-provision option which will make it easier. its already merged.
This is great to know!
Second, about the openjdk issue, I don't think it worth to mention. I'll add to the "Current Status" section that the integration is supported over rhel6.6 and above.
This will do here.

For those who interested, I merged the pages ForemanIntegration and AdvancedForemanIntegration to ease the search.
The page includes full description about the current integration we have with foreman [aka satellite\katello], the future plans, how to setup environment for testing and production and more illustrations to make it easier to follow
feel free to comment about that (directly to me or to the list) and you more than welcome to try that at home :) I think there might be still the issue I ran into:
A prerequisite to adding Foreman external provider in oVirt is (at least for me) that Foreman has *ruby193-rubygem-ovirt_provision_plugin* rpm installed. Otherwise the test will fail with: "Failed with error PROVIDER_FAILURE and code 5050"
Sp, on the foreman host one needs to do: yum install ruby193-rubygem-ovirt_provision_plugin
Also, please note there is an issue users might run into at this step, so it may be worth noting. Foreman integration will fail altogether on Engines running =< El6.5 because of an too old jdk version not supporting DH keys larger then 1024 byte [1]. This is not an issue in oVirt and will never be resolved. Luckily, upgrading to the latest openjdk (java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.71-2.5.3.1.el6.x86_64) solves the issue (on the ENGINE!)
