[Engine-devel] Hints for building up a spicec connection in Ovirt
I am trying to build a connection manually with spicec (or what ever I need to build the connection with) in Ovirt/RHEV and I am wondering what do I need to form this connection? And if this is the wrong place to ask, can you point me in the correct direction? Andrew Wells

rhev-m mostly uses the activex/xpi wrappers. cc-ing spice-devel on command line invocation (or client integrating with the REST API). one thing you will need is to call the engine via the API to set the "ticket" (password) of the VM, to pass to the client.

actually, i just saw the ovirt cli has a console launch option. michael - does it launch spice as well, or only vnc?

So I am assuming that building this connection up in a linux terminal on Ovirt is more or less equal to setting it up using RHEV, but is that not the case? Also what michael posted looks good, but I will need to wait before I can actually dig into that code. In the end I am hoping to just launch X and then launch the spicec session.

right now only vnc, in next release spice will be supported as well. -- Michael Pasternak RedHat, ENG-Virtualization R&D

no. this is the old 2.2 wrapper api. 3.0 has a "native" /api now.

Is there a package that provides the python rhev libraries used in the script? Or where is the source so that I can include/import them.
And is their any documentation on using the python rhev libraries as that would be helpful as well. you guys are getting me excited thinking this might work. On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 11:32 AM, Andrew Wells <agwells0714@gmail.com>wrote:

If that can be helpful to you, I've worked on some C code to talk to the oVirt REST API to be able to list VMs and get the needed info to connect to such a VM with SPICE. The code is unfinished, but listing VMs, starting VMs and connecting to VM without TLS works, I can send you this code if that can be of any use to you.

I quickly made a tarball http://teuf.fedorapeople.org/libgovirt-0.0.1.tar.xz but it's probably far too low level for your needs :) It needs librest from git.gnome.org too, and you need to set your details in one of the C files. If all you want is to get a ticket from ovirt and then start spicec using it, it's better to use the previously mentioned python tool.
