If you install a minimal Centos-6.5 and add the ovirt repository and 
then add the host using the webui of engine then it will install all 
needed packages (vdsm/libvirt/kvm) and you're done. You can then replace 
the standard qemu with the one that will do live snapshots. Depending on 
where you're storage is located you shouldn't have to tinker with 
memberships etc.
