SL works fine with ovirt. If you want to "support it", here is a patch.

*** a/ovirt-release.spec	2014-02-21 10:10:00.000000000 -0500
--- b/ovirt-release.spec	2014-02-21 10:10:55.000000000 -0500

   elif grep -qFi 'Red Hat' /etc/system-release; then
       DIST=EL
+ elif grep -qFi 'Scientific Linux' /etc/system-release; then
+     DIST=EL
   fi


If you don't support Scientific Linux, then I would recommend not 
defaulting the DIST to Fedora and instead searching for the specific 
supported releases and error out otherwise.

Future-wise, Scientific Linux *may* become a "CentOS variant" in Red 
Hat's CentOS.

Cheers,
Jimmy
