Hello,

Thanks for the prompt response.
Sadly enough in-order to modify the existing data storage and switch to VNC/VGA, I need to reinstall CentOS / oVirt (which seems to be broken right now due to ansible dependency issue).
Can I somehow edit the image file (I managed to locate the image disk image on our NFS NAS) and change the display configuration?

As for filing an Oracle support case, as we have yet to decide if we want to switch to Oracle linux. As such, we don't have a support contract.

Thanks,
Gilboa

Hi,

I guess this will need to be patched to make it work.
SPICE is also removed on centos 9/rhel 9, so that's the same for oVirt.
I would suggest to reconfigure all the vm's on the source to VNC, and
then export/import them.

But if you have Oracle Linux, I guess you can just open a support ticket
with Oracle to get it fixed?


Thanks
