There is no network errors found in the ovirt and we are able to access the console from the ovirt panel,the only problem is we are not abel to access from the other host via API….as we don't want to use the Ovirt panel for the end users…so we use our own portal and open the console with the help of API function call….so right now we can access the console from the ovirt panel but can not from our portal. We will get the ticket details like host,port and password from the ticket api funcion call but didn't get the "path" value. Will it get it from the ticket details ? i couldn't find out any from the ticket details. -- Regards Shanil On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 12:34 PM, Sven Kieske <S.Kieske(a)mittwald.de&gt; wrote: > Okay, I can give you a short design overview > how you can make this work: > > a) client browser -> gets novnc from ovirt-engine > or any other host where you host it. > b) client browser(novnc) gets the ticket and path via rest api > c) client browser(novnc) -> connects to websocket-proxy > with the rest-api ticket and "path" > (destination host where the vm is hosted) > > please note, that websocket-proxy must be reachable from client browser > > d) websocket-proxy needs a connection to the cluster and host where > the vm runs, keep in mind you need to configure your display network > in ovirt accordingly. > > I guess you just have an error in your network setup. > > So you need to expose at least the websocket-proxy to the client browser > and this proxy must be able to reach the vm host.
