Hiya,

I'd recommend reading the oVirt/RHEV documentation:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/

Start with 'Planning' and go on from there.

I also recommend that you build a test environment, if you have a 
reasonably powerful workstation or small server, you can build a virtual 
oVirt environment using qemu-kvm or VirtualBox. You could also just use 
a few spare PC's if you have any.
