<div dir="ltr">Not really messy when scripted, each step is a small API command after all. This is what oVirt does when you connect, getting the data and populating the .vv file for you.

Thanks for the info Dan. If that's what it takes I'll need to use a
different method. The one you describe is not only very messy but
extremely breakable and error prone (e.g. if the VM migrates to
another host).<br>

<div dir="ltr">The steps are:
<div>1. Find the VM's UUID in the API</div>
<div><a href="https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=VMNAME" target="_blank">https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=VMNAME</a><br>
</div>
<div>2. Find the VM's current host and spice ports:</div>
<div><a href="https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/" target="_blank">https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/</a> </div>
<div>Look for the <display> section - it will hold the
host IP or FQDN, and the spice ports<br>
</div>
<div>3. Issue a spice ticket via <a href="https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/ticket" target="_blank">https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/ticket</a></div>
<div>4. Connect with a spice client (remote-viewer or spicec)
with the target being HOST:PORT and the ticket you issued as
password</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All this can be scripted via the API or the engine CLI</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps</div>

to a VM console with Spice via the RHEV/Ovirt admin

console using a free-standing Spice viewer, such as the
Chrome Spice Viewer plug-in? I've so far found no
information on this at all.<br>
