Hi
After setting up an ovirt cluster with 4 hosts and getting my networking an=
d vlans all connected I'm pretty impressed with ovirt. I am however not to=
o impressed with trying to actually get a console into a VM. I'm not sure =
why this isn't included in the ovirt engine to begin with as console access=
to actually configure a VM to make templates of seems a pretty basic tenan=
t of virtualisation.
Anyway, I am following the guide http://www.ovirt.org/How_to_Connect_to_SPI=
CE_Console_With_Portal and trying to download spice.cab to follow the rath=
er long procedure to install, however the link on that page gives a 404 pag=
e not found error. Could someone point me to the actual download? Is this=
document perhaps outdated and I am following the wrong path?
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Yes, the document is already dated. Lately, you don't have to go through
the hoops needed to make spice-x work. Even if you can get it, it will
only work for you in IE < 11. You should instead just install
virt-viewer [1] and the consoles should Just Work for you using the
Natice Client (.vv file) method.

Thanks David, I appreciate the help. I installed virt-manager on my virt-engine. And I
have installed virt-viewer on my workstation... I am still not getting a console though.
I don't quite understand if I have to do anything further.. I have checked the faq
and looked at the screen shots, but I am not much the wiser... is there any more detail I
can read on installing and getting this running? I am assuming I connect to virt-engine
for this - should the console button in the virt-engine bring up the remote viewer, or do
I have to start the remote view separately? I turned the firewall off to make sure that
isn't the problem. It appears its trying fire virt-manager up on to a remote x
display I guess, but I just get "unable to connect to the graphic server
spice://ovirt.pbi.global.pvt:5900 " Any further advice on getting this running would
be greatly appreciated.
Bill

Odds are your machine you are trying to connect with does not have the fully
qualified domain name of the host it is trying to connect to. If you don't have
DNS setup for it you should be able to add it to your hosts file (we recommend
DNS though). If that is not the problem you can simply download the .vv and
manually start the viewer with a debug flag, and it will tell you in detail
what the problem is.
remote-viewer xxx.vv --debug
Note there is a time limit on how long the ticket is active, if I recall
correctly its 120 seconds, so be fast when you do it.

That isn't needed.

This is what I advised.
Once you install virt-viewer in Windows, it should be associated
with .vv files. When you click Console then, you should be offered
with .vv file download, let it open with virt-viewer (should work
out-of-the-box) and voilà, you should see your console.
If you're not offered with .vv file for download, try choosing "Native
client" method in Console options (and of course if you have spice
console selected in VM options)
so,
I am assuming I connect to virt-engine for this - should the console
button in the virt-engine bring up the remote viewer,
yes, it should,
or do I have to start the remote view separately?
no,
I turned the firewall off to make sure that isn't the problem.
Firewall is not involved unless you restrict outbound connections as
well,
It appears its trying fire virt-manager up on to a remote x display I
guess, but I just get "unable to connect to the graphic server
spice://ovirt.pbi.global.pvt:5900 "
again, virt-manager is not the thingy you want, virt-viewer is.
HTH,
David

Thank you. IE wasn't telling me about a .vv download... I had reverted to using IE as
virt-engine seemed like it was happier with me using IE and warned me that graphic display
wasn't optimal with FireFox.. so anyway, I tried FireFox again and it offered to
download the .vv file and I opened it and associated it with Remote Viewer and yes it
works. Looks like I am back on track again.

It may be caused by spice-x presence in the system. If you remove it
from IE, IE should offer you .vv file download. spice-activex doesn't
have an uninstaller so you can remove it from IE using "About
plugins..." --> All plug-ins --> Red Hat SpiceX -- Remove (from top of
my head so YMMV). It should do the job but there will still be some
traces scattered across the registry - try looking for spicex, spice-x,
spice-activex, ACD6D89C-938D-49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48A and
ACD6D89C-938D-49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48B (the UUIDs are class IDs used by
x86 and x86_64 versions of plug-in respectively).
