David, Let's try to debug the issue you have now. Can you please attach engine and vdsm logs? Thanks, Dafna On 01/21/2014 05:32 PM, Michal Skrivanek wrote:

Before the VM install console problem, everything was normal, the cpu, host, storage were done following the quick start guide. Well, whatever is the reason the symptoms you see suggests something is either crashing (vdsm on the host) or is unreachable or misconfigured now. Depends what you did...:) Might be easier to start from scratch if unsure...

Itamar,
I tried what you suggested. Now when I restart the VM, it ends up in unknown state. Moreover, all storage domains and the host are all down. What do I need to do to recover from here?
Thos is way beyond graphics issues. You have something wrong with the basic setup. Storage connection? Can all hosts see the engine and vice versa? Any manual firewall tweaks?
Thanks, michal

The node is up and running. I can ssh in no problem. VM is started and running ok with 0% CPU 3% memory. I don't know how to connect VNC to it, my VNC console option is grayed out.
stop the VM. edit it, change console from spice to vnc, start VM, connect to it again with vnc.
I also tried " browser plugin" option by installing spice-xpi on my RHEL6 (which runs the firefox browser). Now when the console is launched, a popup window shows up but then an error " Unable to connect to the graphic server".
