The primary use case is with RHEVM which is in the process of being
upstreamed.  It is also possible to run it as a standalone
virtualization host and manage it via a remote libvirt connection.

The push that is coming in the next week or two for ovirt-node will
include some kickstart files for building in RHEL, but they're tailored
to work with RHEVM only.  

You're welcome to try to get ovirt-server working on RHEL-6, but an
ovirt-node built on RHEL-6, at least right now, will result in RHEVH
tailored for RHEVM use.
