If that's what it takes I'll need to use a different method. The one you describe is not only very messy but extremely breakable and error prone (e.g. if the VM migrates to another host). regards, John On 11/10/14 02:02, Dan Yasny wrote:
The steps are: 1. Find the VM's UUID in the API https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms?search=VMNAME 2. Find the VM's current host and spice ports: https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/ Look for the <display> section - it will hold the host IP or FQDN, and the spice ports 3. Issue a spice ticket via https://rhevm/ovirt-engine/api/vms/UUID/ticket 4. Connect with a spice client (remote-viewer or spicec) with the target being HOST:PORT and the ticket you issued as password
All this can be scripted via the API or the engine CLI
Hope this helps

Connecting to a VM console with Spice via the RHEV/Ovirt admin interface works just fine. How can I connect to a VM's console using a free-standing Spice viewer, such as the Chrome Spice Viewer plug-in? I've so far found no information on this at all.
