Hello everyone,
I am comming back to this issue because of the need to spinup a couple of Win10 vdi vms, and I can see that the problem still persist - at least for me.
I am using now a fresh installed and updated oVirt 4.2.8 and latest guest-tools iso. Still havig very laggy desktop experience on Win10. Win2012 seems fine, Win7 fine as well.
Is there anyone of you guys having Win10 working at least decent for a vdi usage ? Any thoughts on this ?
Thank you very much !

Leo

Thank you,

Not sure i've understood the procedure to create a custom vdsm hook.
Is this a good example to follow ?https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/master/vdsm_hooks/README

Thanks,

Leo

Thank you Victor.
Yes, I have the latest guest-tools installed, and the problem is that after configuring the vm by using virsh and reboot,  the configuration reverts to defaults:
    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' passwd='*****' passwdValidTo='1970-01-01T00:00:01'>
      <listen type='network' network='vdsm-ovirtmgmt'/>
      <channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='display' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='inputs' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='cursor' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='playback' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='record' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='smartcard' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='usbredir' mode='secure'/>
    </graphics>
So my added changes are not loaded at vm boot.
 I am sure this is an oVirt spicific behavior, but i just can;t find it out how to make this persistent.

You can’t edit it in virsh in oVirt. Starting VM in oVirt is too complex for libvirt to handle it on its own. You need to write a vdsm hook if you want to modify resulting xml

For trying out things I’d recommend to do that with a simple VM in virt-manager and once you find out the right config/parameters then write a hook with those for oVirt

Thanks,
michal

What audio issues do you see?

I'm not familiar with oVirt interface but it shouldn't be hard if
you have access to the host.

# virsh edit $vm-name

switch what you have in graphics to:

    <graphics type='spice' autoport='yes'>
        <image compression='off'/> 
        <streaming mode='off'/>     
    </graphics>

Do you have spice-guest-tools installed?
