My browser with the spice-xpi is running on the same server running the management engine. So I can you ping that private IP address from the client I am trying to connect with spice.

Hi Itamar,

The Host that I have added is a Private IP machine (10.10.x.x) . it does
not have a FQDN. I am able to ping and ssh from my management
(ovirt-engine node) to the host (Fedora16+VDSM)
Iptables is also stopped for the host. Is there some specific port that
SPICE requires to connect ?

From the engine I am able to create Vms and do other operations on
them, its only that the console is not connecting.

question is can you ping that private IP address from the client you are trying to connect with spice from (spice opens from client to host running the VM)

Hi Itamar,

During the installation of the ovirt-engine I have followed the
steps as
mentioned on your website/wiki. All other functionality are
fine, its
only the console that is giving me problems. Host IP is
resolvable. The
fedora machine that I tried it actually the localhost (same VM - my
ovirt engine is on a VM) where my ovirt-engine resides. As a
measure to
check if firewall is creating some problems, I stopped the
iptables too
(I dont think this should be the problem).

when you added the host to engine, which ip address/hostname did you
use?

Hi Itamar and others,

In reference to the problem that I had posted yesterday you
(Itamar) had
asked for the spice log on my machine. I have attached
the spice log
that gets generated each time when I start the console (gets
generated
under ~/.spicec/spicec.log.)

Also, I see connection refused but i am not sure on which
address/port
is it trying to connect and failing. Do I need to start some
service or
something. I tried disabling my firewall.. but that
doesn't help
too.
I tried using the VNC console option too but when I
select VNC the
console option itself gets disabled.

All the above I tried on a fedora box with firefox 11 +
spice-xpi . I
also gave a try with windows IE9 . That also doesnt
work. (In IE
even
after clicking console.. I dont see any activity happening.)

did you install the host from engine, with 'configure
iptables' ? is
iptables enabled on the host? is the host ip resolveable
from client?
