We have a couple OLVM instances. Completely separate with their own managers (ovirt-engine). One is lab and one is prod.
I updated the lab engine from 4.5.4-1.0.31.el8 to 4.5.5-1.22.el8 and as soon as that was done and it rebooted I no longer can open VM consoles.
This was the update process followed:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manager/admin/admin-update-engine-she-kvm.html#update-engine-she-kvm
Hi Malcolm on a lab env I have I replicated your steps and even with only the engine updated I'm still able to connect to the vnc console of my VM (ubuntu 20.04)
I'm using firefox 130.0.1 on a fedora 40 system to connect to the VNC console of the guest.
This is a nested env, so that the 2 hypervisors are actually VMs and the Self Hosted Engine is an L2 VM inside.
My starting version when selecting Help --> About on the engine: Version 4.5.4-1.0.31.el8 Version:4.5.4-1.0.31.el8
kernel version on my engine (and also hosts): 5.15.0-207.156.6.el8uek.x86_64
steps done:
dnf update oracle-ovirt-release-45-el8 passed its version from oracle-ovirt-release-45-el8-1.0-24.el8.x86_64 to oracle-ovirt-release-45-el8-1.0-28.el8.x86_64

Is this ok [y/N]:
then
engine-setup
dnf update
reboot (exiting from Global Maintenance)
Now: Software Version:4.5.5-1.22.el8
kernel on the engine VM: 5.15.0-300.163.18.1.1.el8uek.x86_64
I'm going to update also the hosts
