There doesn't seem to be a single "tools" or "agent" install like
there
is under ESXi, that's required to be installed under ovirt, instead I've
seen references to
1) virtio drivers
2) Spice drivers
3) qemu agent
What's really needed under both Windows and Linux to get guests working
properly?
Are all these agents included in Fedora?

Well it depends on what you consider 'working properly'
Mainly you will need to have the VirtIO drivers, the Spice Drivers and
the Spice VDAgent
For additional features supported by oVirt you'll also need the
ovirt-guest-agent
The qemu agent is currently optional, however will be required together
with the ovirt-guest-agent at some point to support some additional
features.
Are all these agents included in Fedora?
Yes they are.

Yes they are.
btw the virtio drivers are already in kernel so for a bare minimum functionality
you're ready to go without any additional sw on Fedora. If you want copy&paste in
SPICE you need vdagent, if you need detailed utilization statistics, app list, guest IP
reporting, SSO you need ovirt-guest-agent. If you need the new backup API and hotplug CPU
in the future you'll need qemu-ga as well

if you need MoM working (ballooning, KSM) you also need ovirt-guest-agent.

Michal=2C thank you for sharing this information. I am going to try
and =
get this into added to the wiki. Blaster if this helps:For Fedora=2C you ca=
n get the guest agent and spice drivers by running "yum install ovirt-guest=
-agent spice-vdagent" . Additional steps for the ovirt-guest-agent install =
here ( http://www.ovirt.org/How_to_install_the_guest_agent_in_Fedora) but I=
wasn't aware of the spice-vdagent. For Windows- you can get the VirtIO dri=
vers by downloading the iso from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virti=
o-win/latest/images/=2C upload it to your ISO store=2C change the CD on the=
vm=2C and then install the drivers through device manager. That will solve=
virtio-serial and virtio-scsi- you can get the spice drivers by downloadin=
g the windows binary from http://www.spice-space.org/download.html (I added=
this to the wiki this week). Note: Win7 and lower right now.- you can get =
the ovirt-guest-agent by following these directions: http://www.ovirt.org/O=
