Hi,

The configuration shown at ​2016-07-04 of video set to "cirrus-vga" and graphic console set to "spice" is an invalid combination which is not supported by oVirt.

I'm not sure how it get there ("vnc" changed to "spice" without changing the video device type to "qxl") but it may cause the problem afterwards of removing both graphic and video devices ...

Regards,
Sharon​


Is there a way I can fix, eventually going and modifying the db?
Thanks,
Gianluca 

yes, via the UI.
1. Edit the HostedEngive vm and go to console tab
2. Set "Video Type" value to "QXL" and "
​​
Graphics protocol" value to "SPICE".
3. restart the HostedEngive vm (It requires a HostedEngive vm restart for the configuration changes to take effect)
4. After the restart, the qxl, spice devices will be created as required.

Regards,
Sharon​
 


The problems is that, from a web gui point of view, the settings in 2. are already in place... ;-) but not honored.. is because of this that I asked about database manipulation...
I could instead change the console parameters and set them to cirrus/vnc and see if they work after shutdown and restart of engine VM and in a second time change again to qxl/spice and see if they are honored then...

What do you think?

​You can do that.
But I still think that setting to qxl/spice should work In first round without setting to cirrus/vnc first, since the "​
Graphics protocol" is currently set to "None​
​"​
 
​and not "spice" AFAIR (as displayed in general sub tab).

If it is set to "None", then after the settings in (2) you will be notified with a pop-up displaying the following:
"Changes that require Virtual Machine restart: graphicsProtocol"

and after a restart both devices should be added.
