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)

David,
Let's try to debug the issue you have now. Can you please attach engine and vdsm logs?
Thanks,

Well, whatever is the reason the symptoms you see suggests something is either crashing (vdsm on the host) or is unreachable or misconfigured now. Depends what you did...:) Might be easier to start from scratch if unsure...

Itamar,
I tried what you suggested. Now when I restart the VM, it ends up in unknown state. Moreover, all storage domains and the host are all down. What do I need to do to recover from here?
Thos is way beyond graphics issues. You have something wrong with
setup. Storage connection? Can all hosts see the engine and vice versa? Any manual firewall tweaks?
Thanks, michal
