Hi all,
We're running RHEV as our main virtualization platform. Most of our guests are CentOS though. Do you guys know if there's a guest tools package for CentOS available like there is for Windows for example? Can't really find an answer here.

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.
