You should be able to run a Windows OS on an oVirt Node.  The steps are as 
follows:

1. Upload Windows install ISO to the Appliance in the /cobblernfs
    directory
2. Use cobbler command line on the Appliance to add the image in
    /cobblernfs as a Cobbler Image object
3. In the Create VM screen your new Image should show up in the drop down
    list for provisioning.  Select this image.
4. Start the VM and use the link in the details pane for the VM to open
    a new Console for it to see the install.

If this doesn't work, do the following to troubleshoot.

On the appliance, remove all of the logs in /var/log/ovirt-server:
rm -f /var/log/ovirt-server/*

Then reboot the appliance to get to a clean state.

Then try creating the VM again and start it again.

If it fails, capture all logs in /var/log/ovirt-server so that we can see 
why it failed.

Thanks,

Perry
