Hi Gary, I can't tell you what happens on upgrade but in order to be able to choose Spice consoles for win8/win2012 guests, drop this file to /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d: cat > /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/99-spice_for_win8_and_win2012.properties << EOF os.windows_8.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus os.windows_8x64.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus os.windows_2012x64.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus EOF and restart the engine. You won't be able to use qxl driver (and by extension multi-monitor and continuous resolution change) but the features provided by spice-vdagent should continue to work for you.

Hi
We are currently running Ovirt 3.3.5 in production, currently our Windows Guests are using spice for the console. I have noticed that in our test environment running 3.4.4 that this option cannot be selected for Windows 2012 guests.
Does anyone know what will happen to the console on VMs running windows 2012 if we upgrade to 3.4.4 on our production environment ?
Will it simply not work resulting in us having to power down the affected VMs or will the existing VMs carry on working with the spice console setting ?
Thanks
