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.

Subject: [External] : [ovirt-users] Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
Hello all,
I'm evaluating switching our existing oVirt clusters to Oracle Linux 8 oVirt 4.5.
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?
Thanks,
Gilboa
