Now having figured out how to make it work I will provide the answer to the rest of the community. *NOTE* this only applies to Windows/Internet Explorer users. There exists no other option other than the html5 spice console (still beta/in development) for windows users ATM. This will also only work with Internet Explorer. Basic Steps: - Install an oVirt server. - Add at least one node - Setup storage/iso/export domains Advanced steps - Start by downloading: http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab - Create a directory for it oVirt looks by default in /usr/share/spice - Rename spice.cab to SpiceX.cab and copy it into /usr/share/spice - Now edit /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/WEB-INF and add the following:

SpiceX.cab

org.ovirt.engine.core.FileServlet

type

application/octet-stream

file

/usr/share/spice/SpiceX.cab

SpiceX.cab

/spice/SpiceX.cab

- Next create an html file within /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war - In the example below an html file called "spice.html" - Copy/Paste the below into spice.html: SPICE Plugin Installer

Spice ActiveX Plugin

- Save the file - You will now need to restart the ovirt-engine service EG: systemctl restart ovirt-engine.service OR service ovirt-engine restart - The installer page will now be available at http:///spice.html EX: http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html - Navigate to that page and click the install button - IE will prompt you to deploy/install the SpiceX cabinet file - It may gripe about an unsigned or untrusted source, acknowledge this an proceed anyways - If the install succeeds the text "Spice ActiveX Plugin" on the page will change to blank (it's actually the plugin with null values) - The console button in the user and webadmin portals will now launch the new virt-viwer spice based console! Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's from Windows! *NOTE* To uninstall the plugin: - The below removes the add-on from IE (EG: removes knowledge of "application/x-spice") - pop a command terminal and type: On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll" On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll" - Next we need to remove the rest of virt-viewer - Go to add/remove programs and uninstall virt-viewer, this removes the rest of virt-viewer from the system --===============5289813621878172977== Content-Type: text/html MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment;
