Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a method of settings the VM's video type to QXL from
the Python SDK, which doesn't appear to be possible in any way.
Whenever I set the graphics protocol to VNC it defaults the video type
to CIRRUS. I'd like to use QXL with VNC, which is possible to set
using the console's web UI.
Has anyone achieved this before? Using the "SPICE + VNC" option with
QXL would also be acceptable, but the API doesn't seem to accept that
value for the graphics protocol.
Cheers,
Ollie

What version of the engine are you using? Can you share the script that
you are using to try to change the display type?
In version 3.6 of then engine a new "/vm/{vm:id}/graphicsconsoles"
service has been added that allows you to add/remove graphics consoles.
For example, if you want to add VNC and SPICE as protocols you can do
the following:
# Find the VM:
vm = api.vms.get(name="myvm")
# Remove the current graphics consoles:
consoles = vm.graphicsconsoles.list()
for console in consoles:
console.delete()
# Add new consoles:
vm.graphicsconsoles.add(
params.GraphicsConsole(
protocol="VNC"
)
)
vm.graphicsconsoles.add(
params.GraphicsConsole(
protocol="SPICE"
)
)

Thanks, Juan. I didn't see that method.
I've tried to use your suggested script and I get a 500 error back
from the server. The /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log shows the
reason to be 'Mapping exception while processing "POST" request for
path "/vms/361e911f-8d6d-479e-b399-526507f24dea/graphicsconsoles"'.
Any idea why I would be getting that?
The script I'm using is: http://ix.io/mKv

The script looks OK. Can you share the complete error from engine.log?
