Dafna,
I have restarted the host and now started to install the Vm from scratch. Following
Itamar's suggestion this time, I chose VNC as console option.
How can I use vnc viewer to attach to the VM?
I don't remember if virt-viewer detects the vnc in the .vv file.
but you should have the vnc password and connection details in the vv
file to manually connect for sake of testing.
you should also be able to use ovirt cli utility to connect to a vm
which will launch vnc as well (iirc, via virt-viewer, not vnc viewer)
