Please open an RFE for this. Thanks. I think you can do that yourself, by editing: /etc/ovirt-vmconsole/ovirt-vmconsole-proxy/conf.d/20-ovirt-vmconsole-proxy-helper.conf

That’s a limitation/design of REST API In the UI you can highlight multiple VMs and assign roles all in one go Note you don’t have to use the UserVmManager role, it’s just one of the predefined ones. If you want your own, different, role you can always define a new one and add the serial console permission Thanks, michal

/usr/share/doc/ovirt-vmconsole/README on your machine, or
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-vmconsole.git;a=blob;f=README For those who are interested, the working way is
# ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@MANAGER_IP connect --vm-name vm1 None of the official rhev doc or /usr/share/doc/ovirt-vmconsole/README tells about it. Connect is the implicit default argument, but we have to provide it so as to specify a vm name.
An other question is : Why the vm order is not alphabetic? it could simplify the search when too many vms are displayed. And a simple "sort -k2" command should do the stuff... Please open an RFE for this. Thanks.

You must use ssh escape sequences with ssh, ~. should work here. See ESCAPE CHARACTERS section in `man ssh' for more information.
thank you, it works, exactly what I need. Le 20/04/2016 09:12, Milan Zamazal a écrit :
