first i have seen of anything about this. i would like to know
more, but yum info ovirt-guest-agent doesn't feed me anything. i

For ovirt 3.1 + F17, you'll find it in here:
http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.1/rpm/Fedora/17/x86_64/.
You don't have to have it installed on your VMs, but it comes in handy, mainly for
reporting the VM's IP address through the web interface.
There's a service associated with the agent that you'll want to start, I think
it's just called "ovirt-guest-agent"

That's the one I was looking at using as source (src.rpm) as my hosts are
CentOS-6.3.

That was me, I think.
Where I work also has a partnership with RedHat so we have the RHEL agent
tools. I was planning to do a compile of the ovirt-released guest agent
tools but have not had the time so I fudged and used RedHat's :-)
The only difference is the RHEL version seems to also have a qxl (?) video
driver (carry-over from older rhev-manager I think). The rest is
python-based tools. There's a way to do a binary-only executable from the
python script that is the agent (multiple bits - agent (talks to OS and
virtIOserial), spice (talks to spice and OS) and spice-agent (talks through
agent to window manager, etc)) but I haven't had the time to work out the
build issues yet.
As of now, there's not an "official" ovirt-guest-agent package that I know
of either.

hi,
I am currently in the process of preparing the ovirt-guest-agent for F17
package review, so it can be included in the distribution.
In the meantime you can use the repository as mentioned by Jason.
The qemu-guest-agent is not the same thing. The qemu guest agent comes
with just a little of the features the ovirt-guest-agent currently
provides, even though they are duplicating features, such as hibernation
(S3,S4) support and things like shutdown initiated by the OS through the
respective guest agent.
The ovirt-guest-agent is providing also additional information to the
web admin portal, such as current IP, logged in user, memory consumption
etc.
Also it provides the ability to implement a feature called 'Single Sign
On' so that you can enter your user/password combination only once in
the user portal login and once you have opened the guest os spice
session you get automatically logged in to the guest system.
HTH,
