I needed to bounce libvirtd after changing a config in libvirt/qemu.conf so import-to-ovirt.pl, but now my VMs with Spice console complain: libvirtError: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor: ((null):2791): Spice-Warning **: reds.c:3311:reds_init_ssl: Could not use private key file What is the proper way to sync up the key after restarting libvirtd? I even tried rebooting host and restart ovirt-engine and ovirt-engine setup, didn't help. Work around is just use VNC consoles. But I'd like to get spice working again. centos 7.2 libvirt-client-1.2.17-13.el7_2.2.x86_64 ovirt-engine-3.6.2.6-1.el7.centos.noarch Cloud Services for Business www.j2.com j2 | eFax | eVoice | FuseMail | Campaigner | KeepItSafe | Onebox This email, its contents and attachments contain information from j2 Global, Inc. and/or its affiliates which may be privileged, confidential or otherwise protected from disclosure.

thanks for the reply. I tried reinstall of one host. Didn't help. Also tried removing the host and reinstalling it. Didn't help. Looks like server cert & key were regenerated, but not ca-cert.pem.

Didn't help. Changed console back to VNC and it starts up fine. Seems strange that I could mess up the spice keys just by restarting libvirtd.

The only problem with spice certs in oVirt I remember over the last 5 years concerns certificate encoding - which bit only users who used non-ascii characters in Organization. The bugs (private RHEV unfortunately) should be fixed for quite some time - and the fix involved certificate regeneration. You can see it in recent versions of engine setup... Otherwise, it was really transparent process. Try removing the /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-spice directory, reinstalling package that owns it (yum reinstall vdsm) and reinstalling host in RHEV. You should get 100 % fresh certs by this time. BTW when I was meddling with libvirt settings on oVirt host last time, vdsm complained and refused to work. Doesn't it say something interesting about it?
