I used this image for installing Solaris 11: sol-11_1-text-x86.iso,
which is the Solaris 11.1 text based installer...

Works fine for me on my oVirt 3.3 setup - installed Solaris 11.1 right
now - (did also work fine in oVirt 3.2 and on a RHEL 6 server with plain
KVM)...

That's not a good idea to mix virt-manager and oVirt on one host.
You can try to install Solaris 11.1 on a dedicated KVM-based host using
virt-manager and import it to oVirt using virt-v2v tools in case you
can't manage to install Solaris as a guest in your oVirt setup...
