[ovirt-users] Re: [External] : Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)

Hi Gilboa, The spice protocol has been deprecated by Red Hat for over 3 years. It may still be available in CentOS or RHEL versions but not in OL. It cannot be enabled.

It seems that Oracle has completely disabled QXL/Spice (leaving only VGA and Cirrus) on their oVirt fork (1). I'm trying to import a VM from an existing oVirt data storage into an Oracle cluster, but I'm getting 'VAR__ACTION__IMPORT,VAR__TYPE__VM,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_ILLEGAL_VM_DISPLAY_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_OS' error. Comparing the spice-related packages in Oracle and CentOS based oVirt installation, I see no changes. Two questions: 1. Can I somehow enable QXL support in Oracle oVirt? 2. Assuming I can't, can I somehow editing the VM configuration without mounting in a temporary CentOS based cluster, editing the configuration and reimporting it into Oracle?
