Hi Cam,
The reason why it works in RHEL 6.7 clients is due to the fact that version
of virt-viewer that is supplied with it, doesn't support the mechanism to
check for the minimum required version.
Wasn't aware we can modify the versions we require through
RemoteViewerSupportedVersions config. Michal - thanks for the hint.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks Michal, that is a huge help. We're busy building an image
for EL7
but it isn't yet fully finished, so we're still on 6.x for now. We're
updating to 6.8 and then 6.9 in the meantime. Interesting that it still
works for 6.7 though - I can't explain that. I have updated
RemoteViewerSupportedVersions and restarted the engine and it works like a
charm.
Cheers,
Cam
