When we think about the names, we should consider all the components
installed or running on the host. Here is the current names and future options:

Current names:

vdsmd
supervdsmd
vdsm-tool
vdsClient
(we have also two hosted engine daemons, I don't remember the names)

Here are some options in no particular order to name these components:

Alt 1:
ovirt-hypervisor
ovirt-hypervisor-helper
ovirt-hypervisor-tool
ovirt-hyperviosr-cli

Alt 2:
ovirt-host
ovirt-host-helper
ovirt-host-tool
ovirt-host-cli

Alt 3:
ovirt-agent
ovirt-agent-helper
ovirt-agent-tool
ovirt-agent-cli

Thoughts?
