Can somebody please point me to documentation or describe how I should
proceed with this task? I see lots of pages for moving from a physical
engine to a VM and vice-versa but am having no luck finding how to go
about building a new HE to obsolete my original.

using ovirt-hosted-engine-setup you can choose a setup without using the appliance. So you can scratch install your VM

BTW the ovirt-engine-appliacnce we build [1] is Centos based. Seems like perfect candidate.

#install the appliance

yum install ovirt-engine-appliance

#and then run the setup

ovirt-hosted-engine-setup

choose "disk" in this stage

Please specify the device to boot the VM from (cdrom, disk, pxe) [cdrom]: disk

it will suggest the downloaded appliance automatically
