I dont use RHEV (yet) but being that its based on KVM and libvirt I dont
think you need guest tools.  When you configure in RHEV Manager does it
identify the paravirtual devices as virtio?  If so then its standard in the
kernel used by CentOS since around 5.5.  I run all my CentOS VMs on the KVM
/ libvirt platform and systems install fine without any additional tools.
The only additional thing I install is acpid to allow the VM manager to
perform shutdowns and reboots.
