this helps somebody avoid wasting as much time as I did today. I'm a fairly
experienced VMWare user who's learning ovirt. I just installed an all-in-one ovirt
server and copied a CentOS 6.5 iso into it. I then tried to boot a new VM but soon learned
that console access is different in ovirt than on VMWare. I then spent over an hour trying
the various documented ways to view a remote console using Spice on my Windows 7 desktop.
I even tried using a Linux VM to see if the Firefox plugin for Spice would work. Nothing.
What finally worked was installing the virt-viewer Windows client
(http://virt-manager.org/download/ [1]). Then, I opened the ovirt Administration Portal in
Firefox running on my Windows 7 desktop. I created a new VM
and configured it the
way I wanted. Then, from the "Virtual Machines" tab, I started the new VM.
Pretty soon the little console icon turned green so I clicked on it. I got the prompt from
Firefox asking me what app I wanted to associate with the ".vv" URL that opened
when I clicked on the console icon. I browsed around and selected Program
FilesVirtViewerbinremote-viewer.exe which is from the virt-viewer client package I
installed above. I told Firefox to always use this app for this kind of file. This works
great! I was able to boot the CentOS system and install it with no problems. Good luck!
Jon Forrest Hi, I have one problem with that. I believe that the problem is rather in
oVirt, not the viewer. I have oVirt installed at work and I also have connection to the
work environment using IPv6 tunnelling (Windows WAN). In the oVirt all hosts are added
using FQDN. The problem is that all hosts in the LAN (inside the company) are resolved via
IPv4 and the same FQDN is resolved via IPv6
when I'm connected via WAN. In the console.vv file I can see the IPv4 address
unfortunately and the connection to the console via WAN is not working. If I change the
file putting FQDN to the "host=" line everything is working fine. How to change
the oVirt? I'd prefer that the line "host=" contains the FQDN (or whatever
is being put in the engine database) not the IP address?
there's a Display address override per host where you can map each
host's console address to something else; some other IP or FQDN
you just need to set it for all hosts
Thanks,
michal
