Nice, I missed this somewhere along the line.
Unfortunately, it’s not working for me. I created a 10-osinfo.properties in
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf and symlinked it into
/etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d for good measure, restarted jboss-as and
ovirt-engine, and started up a VM but it still got a -vga cirrus device.
Contents of my 10-osinfo.properties:
os.other.devices.display.protocols.value = vnc/vga,qxl/qxl
I notice I didn’t have an os.other.devices.display.protocols in my existing
00-defaults.properties. I’m running 3.3.4 on this cluster, is this fully
supported in that version?
well i forgot to mention that this will only work for new vms, or if you edit the vm and
switch the display type (to spice and after that again to vnc)
because this value is saved in the db the moment the display device is created (add vm or
update of display type)
please pay attention that win8,win8x64,win2012x64 override this value also
