That code shows how to obtain the required VM. Information (display address, display port, etc). Then the virt-viewer configuration file is created here: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-cli/blob/master/src/ovirtcli/platfo... Note also that recent versions of the engine (including 3.6) can generate the virt-viewer configutation file for you. For example, if you know the id of the VM you can get the virt-viewer configuration file and then launch the "remote-viewer" program with a simple script like this: ---8<--- #!/bin/bash -ex # Connection parameters: url="https://engine36.local/ovirt-engine/api" user="admin@internal" password="..." # The identifier of the VM: vm="3235367b-9bae-4ff1-87ed-b42446e97046" # The name of the protocol, encoded in hexadecimal, it will # be 5350494345 for SPICE and 564e43 for VNC: protocol="5350494345" # Download the "virt-viewer" configuration file: curl \ --verbose \ --cacert /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem \ --request GET \ --user "${user}:${password}" \ --header "Version: 3" \ --header "Accept: application/x-virt-viewer" \ --output "${vm}.vv" \ "${url}/vms/${vm}/graphicsconsoles/${protocol}" # Launch the "virt-viewer" program (it will automatically delete # the configuration file once loaded): remote-viewer "${vm}.vv" --->8--- -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif.
