Good evening everyone,
I am Marco from Germany and I currently setup a oVirt environment in our data center. The
current environment are 1 dedicated engine and 6 oVirt Hosts.
Hi Marco,
welcome
I have three questions which I didnt get answered very well during my research in the WWW
during the last days.
So it would be very helpfull if someone of you can support me.
We are using the cluster for normal VM usage and for VDI desktop virtualization with the
Spice protocol.
1. Question
We are using a spice proxy because we have some VMs reachable via the Engine and Spice
external. Since we are using the proxy some users are observing some disconnects of the
USB redirection and sometimes mouse and keyboard are not working in the session so that we
have to restart the console. Are there some of you also using a proxy and may had the same
behaviour and a workaround or fix for this?
(I suppose you’re talking about standalone remote-viewer client and squid proxy)
I do not recall any issues with proxy. There might be some, but SPICE people would know
more, they have a separate list here[1]
Did you make sure network is not the bottleneck?
2. Question
We want to use the Spice foldersharing function but it is always greyed and not usable
for us. I dont find anything in the web about the function in the Remote viewer. What is
necessary to use it? (Linux and Windows clients)
Did you enable it in the VM configuration? (SPICE file transfer). If so and it still
does’t work, again SPICE archive/people might be able to help:)
3. Question
The last question is about future usage of the cluster for VMs running Windows10 (and
other microsoft distributions of this generation like Server2012 etc). Is there a way
getting the spice video drivers working with this operating systems? The official
statement I always read is that there is no official driver at the moment available.
Indeed it is not ready yet. VMs will work just fine, but remote console access will be
slower, there is no 3D support
it may be ok for your purposes…you would have to try
Thanks,
michal
