If you want to run it under oVirt, it's called hosted-engine:

I think it will work.

7.

oVirt 4.0, to be released soon, will not work on 6.

A 3.6 engine can work on both, a 3.6 host requires 7.
A 3.6 engine can manage a 3.5 host (which can be el6), but is not
relevant for you (unless you are simulating an existing such setup).

Best,
