Thanks Oved for pointing to the doc; my bad. I was using the foreman 
integration document [1]. Maybe the pages should be merged?

With foreman 1.6 (at least) there is no need to enable the nightly 
builds any more as rb-ovirt is resolved by yum.

Lastly, I think you need to enable foreman_discovery with the foreman 
installer to work and download images:

# foreman-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-discovery 
--foreman-plugin-discovery-install-images=true

You have that already listed in the testing env setup; but this needs to 
be put in context with installing foreman-ovirt on the foreman host.
