I'm running with theEL6 release of ovirt-engine: ovirt-engine.noarch 3.2.2-1.1.el6 @ovirt-stable After creating a virtual machine, I cannot view the console if protocol is set to "SPICE". If the protocol is set to VNC, I can view the console, but it's not very convenient since I have to load a separate VNC viewer, and enter the IP and port of the engine, and a randomly generated password each time. How does one make console work via SPICE? Is this a known issue because RHEL6 wouldn't have all the updated libraries of later a later Fedora release?

Actually, I realize the problem now... my client was a Windows client. The server is EL6, the VM is EL6. I'll try with a Linux client later. I'm sure it will work. It's not clear whether SPICE will also require entering a randomly generated password. The problem is the randomly generated password. There's probably a way to fix that as well... I just need to look more. oVirt is terrific, but finding all the information from a variety of sources and putting it all together can be tricky .. but I like a challenge! :)
