Thank you guys !

Wow... this complicates the things, since reinstalling the hosts with centos instead of oVirt node distribution would give me a bit of headache. The dell hosts are already running in production.

I think it would be really nice if standard node would support installing management software for well known brands like dell, hp, lenovo, supermicro, etc... I am sure we cannot track every server brand in the world, but in realitty there are just a couple of them most spreaded across ovirt node installations.

I will try to see what I can do, although I am a bit afraid to not break the os somehow...

Agree with Chris here, regular CentOS 7 hosts may be easier to manage in this case. Not much persists when updating oVirt node, some select folders/files persist on updates such as /etc and /root for example but I'm not sure how custom packages/rpms are handled. I believe there may be ways you can have packages persist but I'm not familiar with the process. I know the idea of package persistence was brought up before but I'm not sure if/when/how it was implemented.

oVirt Node has the regular CentOS yum repos disabled, but Dell's OMSA
expects them (and possibly some things from EPEL? can't remember). You
can try "yum --enablerepo={base,updates} install srvadmin-all".

I'm not sure how oVirt Node might handle the additional packages, what
will happen on oVirt upgrades, etc. though. From what I understand,
installing additional software on Node isn't really supported. You
might be better off installing "regular" CentOS and then oVirt, without
using the Node method.
