Some more information.
I had shutdown the VM on VMWare workstation, exported it as an ova, did
the virt-v2v and imported it. To work on it I went to another
workstation running the same OS (Fedora 23) and ran the oVirt web
portal. From there I tried to access this new VM's console (or any but
can not). I shutdown the VM on oVirt and restarted it on VMware
Workstation. I logged back into the workstation I'm trying to migrate
and can access all the consoles without issues under SPICE. So to
summarize
Workstation A - Keeps asking what to do with the console vv file.
Workstation B - the one I'm trying to migrate to oVirt I can access
consoles just fine. This one opens in remote viewer according to the
heading if I open a console window.
So I need to find out what needs to be installed on Workstation A. On
B I have these so I installed them on A.
spice-glib
spice-gtk3
spice-vdagent
virt-manager
virt-common
Same vnc packages on both already installed.
remote-viewer on both systems
Still doesn't work.
Firewall services and ports the same on both.
For others who may have a brain short <G>: After all that I found that
I had to select remote-viewer in the open with box and all was well.
The first system was setup some time ago so I don't remember if I had
to go through this dance to change it from Firefox or if it just picked
it up and used remote-viewer. I have no idea why Firefox would be a
preferred viewer for a remote connection.

The VMS show SPICE as the graphics in the admin web so I assume
that's
default. Now if I try and open a console I'm asked to download a vv
file so I save it and I did setup according to this, https://access.r
ed
hat.com/documentation/en-
US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.4/html/User_Guide/chap-
Installing_Supporting_Components.html, and all I got was a blank
window
and this error if I try to Toggle messages output.
WebSocket error: Can't connect to websocket on URL:
wss://ovengine1.corp.l1049h.net:6100
followed by lots of characters.
If I set the console options to native I get the request to download
a
vv file or open with firefox. If I say open with firefox it puts the
f
ile://pathtovv in the url and then asks again so I'm in an infinite
loop. If I save and then open with firefox I get the same infinite
loop nonsense.
If I try and use VNC in console options I'm told to set the VM
console
options which I have done several time to VNC, spice+vnc, and then
back
to VNC. I reboot and still can't use VNC. For others who may have
this
issue I finally got to select VNC by shutting down the VM (again) and
selection VNC in the console. I restarted and it finally set the
protocol to VNC. Unfortunately when I try and connect to the console
I
still get the stupid vv file and firefox goes into it's infinite
loop.
At this point spice is useless (I've never gotten it to work with
oVirt) and VNC seems broken.
I must be missing something. How do I connect to the console of my
VM
as I used to by simply clicking the console icon or selecting the
menu
item. I have imported it and need to setup the networking so I can
ssh
or connect to it with thinlinc.
If I use VNC how to I connect to the VM. I can connect to an engine
VM
via the remote-viewer ... command line but how do I get to an
individual VM?
Thanks.
