The command to use the console is just "console myvm": ovirt-shell --connect --url http://host.example.com:8080/api --user admin@internal --password letmein! [oVirt shell (connected)]# console myserver That should launch the spice command with the right parameters. Make sure you have the spice-client package installed. If it does not work it may be because the latest version of the CLI requires SSL (that is probably a bug). If this is your case please apply the following change to the file /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtcli/platform/posix/spice.py: --- /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtcli/platform/posix/spice.py.old 2012-04-13 12:12:31.638976451 +0200 +++ /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ovirtcli/platform/posix/spice.py 2012-04-13 12:13:00.306969571 +0200 @@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ args = [ 'spicec', host, str(port), str(secport), '--ssl-channels', 'smain,sinputs', '--ca-file', certfile, '-p', ticket ] else: - args = [ 'spicec', '-h', host, '-p', str(port), '-s', str(secport), + args = [ 'spicec', '-h', host, '-p', str(port), '-w', ticket, '-t', title ] print(cmd) print(args) That will remove the "-s" option when calling spicec, so it should work without SSL. I will open a bug for this and start to work on a proper solution. Let me know if this workaround works for you.
