Getting Started
The staging-ovirt driver allows OpenStack to easily use ovirt/RHV virtual machines as overcloud nodes. For those of us running virtualized OpenStack labs, it’s a huge step forward – as we either were previously having to hack our way around pxe_ssh or vmbc. Neither was a great solution.
In order to use the staging-ovirt driver , I first I needed to configure the undercloud to use the staging-ovirt driver. See undercloud.conf below.

Then create an instackenv.json. In the example below pm_addr is the IP of my local RHV manager.

You should then be able to import your nodes.
[simterm]
$ openstack overcloud node import instackenv.json

Troubleshooting
Note that I ran into an error importing my nodes. Error shown below.

Help was found here.
Apparently I was missing a package. I needed to yum install the package shown below and restart ironic-conductor
[simterm]
# sudo yum -y install python-ovirt-engine-sdk4.x86_64
# sudo systemctl restart openstack-ironic-conductor.service
