There is (or will be) a way to import existing VMs.  I know the
virt-v2v[1] tool exists, but not sure about it working with oVirt yet.
There is also an image uploader tool either available or coming.  (I
don't personally work on either so I'm not sure of the timelines for
them)

ovirt-node is currently fedora based, though there is a patch pending[2]
that adds some Centos support.  Going forward, it will likely continue
to be fedora based for the main development, though we welcome people
who want to extend it to other distros.  The Centos support was added
when looking at a different management tool (archipel) so compatibility
of a centos node with oVirt Engine isn't known at this point.
