Thanks Paul,
I have tried opening it using "remote-viewer", but I get error message as
"Unable to connect to the graphic server /tmp/mozilla_saji0/console.vvCould
not connect to 192.168.59.95: No route to host" This has something to do
with the permission than, route issues, because I can access the server
through the browser as well as I can ping it also I have to see what
permissions or port blocked at the ovirt server level Thanks

Yes you should use the remote viewer. The manager itself is not running the
VMs, the hosts are running the VMs. So what happens when you click on the
console button is that it generates a .vv file which your browser then
downloads. If you associate remote-viewer with the .vv files it will attempt
to connect to the *HOST* running the VM. Now its entirely possible your
network topology doesn't allow you to connect to the host, while the manager
(engine) is allowed to connect to the host.
If this is the case you need to configure a proxy on the engine that forwards
to the host. Since we don't know your topology we can't say much more. But in
general your browser connects to the engine which shows you the admin UI. Then
when you want to connect with a console to a VM, your computer (remote-viewer)
tries to connect to the host.
The message you are seeing is telling me you can't connect to the host.

You should use remote-viewer to connect to the console of the VM, it's in
the same package and you should pass the connection details to it from the
portal(the console.vv file gets created including the otp). Regards,

Hi ,I was able to install ovirt, and I am able to create virtual machines
and it is running fine, I can see the instance using browser But when I try
connecting to the ovirt machine using virt-manager I am getting the
following error
"Unable to connect to libvirt.
authentication failed: authentication failed
Verify that the 'libvirtd' daemon is running
on the remote host."
Through the browser I am able to see the virtual machines running, is there
anything else for me to do, for allowing "Virtual Machine Manager" to work
thanksJoseph John
