Yeah when I setup a host for testing I always do:

1. Get minimal install of centos 7.
2. yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-releaseXX.rpm 
where XX is the version I am working with.
3. Make sure sshd is up and running and my engine can connect.
4. Install the host through the UI.

Haven't had that sequence fail in years.
