I haven't tested with ovirt-engine-3.4, but there should be manually intervention
due to missing features:
1. 'None' boot protocol via cloud init: eth1 of the appliance vm should be configured
via cloud-init with static ip since the 'none' boot protocol for it wasn't supported on 3.4,
and later on to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and remove the IPADDR
and NETMASK entries from it. 
2. update /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* to have ONBOOT=yes (fixed in 3.5)
3. RabbitMQ support added in 3.5: after the host is installed with the external provider,
edit on the host /etc/neutron/neutron.conf and configure it to work with RabbitMQ by adding
the following properties under section [DEFAULT] :

rabbit_host = THE_APPLIANCE_CONFIGURED_IP
rabbit_port = 5672
rabbit_userid = guest
rabbit_password = guest
rpc_backend = neutron.openstack.common.rpc.impl_kombu

However, haven't tested it to verify those are the only steps needed.
