Hi,<br>
<br>
we´ve been using the spice page to make users install the ActiveX plugin for a while now, and have had no complaints so far. But while it does it´s job, you really noticed it wasn´t quite part of oVirt as a whole with it´s rather...spartan design:) So I have
taken a little time to make it look just a little prettier, and feel more like a part of the product.<br>

Hope someone enjoys it.<br>

I have requested a wiki account so I will just need someone to grant the proper create/edit page access or create a stub page and allow edit access to it.<br>

<blockquote>I have seen this question asked many times on this list and the spice-devel list. Now having figured out how to make it work I will provide the answer to the rest of the community.<br>
<br>
*NOTE* this only applies to Windows/Internet Explorer users. There exists no other option other than the html5 spice console (still beta/in development) for windows users ATM. This will also only work with Internet Explorer.<br>
<br>
Basic Steps:<br>
- Install an oVirt server.<br>
- Add at least one node<br>
- Setup storage/iso/export domains<br>
<br>
Advanced steps<br>
- Start by downloading: <a href="http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab">http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab</a><br>
- Create a directory for it oVirt looks by default in /usr/share/spice<br>
- Rename spice.cab to SpiceX.cab and copy it into /usr/share/spice<br>
- Now edit /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/WEB-INF and add the following:<br>
<br>
<!-- SpiceX.cab --><br>
<servlet><br>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name><br>
<servlet-class>org.ovirt.engine.core.FileServlet</servlet-class><br>
<init-param><br>
<param-name>type</param-name><br>
<param-value>application/octet-stream</param-value><br>
</init-param><br>
<init-param><br>
<param-name>file</param-name><br>
<param-value>/usr/share/spice/SpiceX.cab</param-value><br>
</init-param><br>
</servlet><br>
<servlet-mapping><br>
<servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name><br>
<url-pattern>/spice/SpiceX.cab</url-pattern><br>
</servlet-mapping><br>
<br>
- Next create an html file within /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war<br>
- In the example below an html file called "spice.html"<br>
- Copy/Paste the below into spice.html:<br>
<br>
<!DOCTYPE html><br>
<html><br>
<head><br>
<title>SPICE Plugin Installer</title><br>
<br>
<script type="text/javascript"><br>
function installSpice()<br>
{<br>
try {<br>
document.getElementById('SpiceX').innerHTML = '<OBJECT id="SpiceX" codebase="/spice/SpiceX.cab" classid="clsid:ACD6D89C-938D-49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48A" width="0" height="0"></OBJECT>';<br>
} catch (ex) {<br>
alert("Epic Fail!: " + ex.Description);<br>
}<br>
} <br>
</script><br>
<br>
</head><br>
<body><br>
<p><br>
<p><b id='SpiceX'>Spice ActiveX Plugin</b> </p> <br>
<button onclick='installSpice()'>Install Spice Plugin</button><br>
</p><br>
</body><br>
</html><br>
<br>
- Save the file<br>
- You will now need to restart the ovirt-engine service EG: systemctl restart ovirt-engine.service OR service ovirt-engine restart<br>
- The installer page will now be available at http://<url to ovirt server>/spice.html EX:
<a href="http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html">http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html</a><br>
- Navigate to that page and click the install button<br>
- IE will prompt you to deploy/install the SpiceX cabinet file<br>
- It may gripe about an unsigned or untrusted source, acknowledge this an proceed anyways<br>
- If the install succeeds the text "Spice ActiveX Plugin" on the page will change to blank (it's actually the plugin with null values)<br>
- The console button in the user and webadmin portals will now launch the new virt-viwer spice based console!<br>
<br>
Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's from Windows!<br>
<br>
*NOTE*<br>
To uninstall the plugin:<br>
- The below removes the add-on from IE (EG: removes knowledge of "application/x-spice")<br>
- pop a command terminal and type:<br>
On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll"<br>
On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll"<br>
- Next we need to remove the rest of virt-viewer<br>
- Go to add/remove programs and uninstall virt-viewer, this removes the rest of virt-viewer from the system<br>
