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

Hello, The problem was actually failure to import an existing VMs from an existing oVirt storage into OLVM if the image is configured to use QXL/Spice. (The import UI doesn't let you change the VM display configuration. It will simply fail to import the VM). I fixed the problem by attaching the storage to a working CentOS based oVirt cluster, changed the console configuration on all the stored VMs to VGA/VNC and detached the storage. Once the VMs were configured to use VGA/VNC, OLVM managed to import them without an issue. In short, anyone contemplating moving to OLVM - make sure all VMs use VGA/VNC. Thanks everyone for the help. - Gilboa On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 6:44 PM Jorge Visentini <jorgevisentini(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Hi, > > If I understood well, the OS guest doesn't have support for VNC, just > QXL/Spice. > So...
