I tried to open up a console to continue the install process. But all I got is a blank window and a request to save a file which I did. The window remained blank and I couldn't see any activities. I went to the node itself and tried to see if I could use virsh tool to understand what's going on. But I was asked for a username and password to perform any actions. Any idea what I should do at this time? David _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

The node is up and running. I can ssh in no problem. VM is started and running ok with 0% CPU 3% memory. I don't know how to connect VNC to it, my VNC console option is grayed out.

I also tried " browser plugin" option by installing spice-xpi on my RHEL6 (which runs the firefox browser). Now when the console is launched, a popup window shows up but then an error " Unable to connect to the graphic server". ----- Original Message ----- > From: Itamar Heim <iheim(a)redhat.com&gt; > To: David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net>; Michal Skrivanek <michal.skrivanek(a)redhat.com&gt; > Cc: &quot;users(a)ovirt.org List" <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; > Sent: Friday, January 17, 2014 2:38 PM > Subject: Re: [Users] Blank VM Install Console > > On 01/18/2014 12:30 AM, David Li wrote: >> This time I tried to use "spice html5 browser client".

Itamar, I tried what you suggested. Now when I restart the VM, it ends up in unknown state. Moreover, all storage domains and the host are all down. What do I need to do to recover from here?

I don't remember if virt-viewer detects the vnc in the .vv file. but you should have the vnc password and connection details in the vv file to manually connect for sake of testing. you should also be able to use ovirt cli utility to connect to a vm which will launch vnc as well (iirc, via virt-viewer, not vnc viewer) > > David > > > ----- Original Message ----- >> From: Dafna Ron <dron(a)redhat.com&gt; >> To: Michal Skrivanek <mskrivan(a)redhat.com&gt; >> Cc: David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net>; &quot;users(a)ovirt.org List" <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; >> Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 9:38 AM >> Subject: Re: [Users] Blank VM Install Console >> >> David, >> >> Let's try to debug the issue you have now. >> Can you please attach engine and vdsm logs? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Dafna >> >> >> On 01/21/2014 05:32 PM, Michal Skrivanek wrote: >>> >>>   On 21 Jan 2014, at 18:26, David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net&gt; wrote: >>> >>>>   Before the VM install console problem, everything was normal, the cpu, >> host, storage were done following the quick start guide. >>>   Well, whatever is the reason the symptoms you see suggests something is >> either crashing (vdsm on the host) or is unreachable or misconfigured now. >>>   Depends what you did...:) >>>   Might be easier to start from scratch if unsure... >>> >>> >>>> >>>>   ----- Original Message ----- >>>>>   From: Michal Skrivanek <mskrivan(a)redhat.com&gt; >>>>>   To: David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net&gt; >>>>>   Cc: Itamar Heim <iheim(a)redhat.com>; &quot;users(a)ovirt.org >> List" <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; >>>>>   Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2014 9:24 AM >>>>>   Subject: Re: [Users] Blank VM Install Console >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> >>>>>   On 21 Jan 2014, at 18:20, David Li <david_li(a)sbcglobal.net&gt; >> wrote: >>>>> >>>>>>   Itamar, >>>>>> >>>>>>   I tried what you suggested.

It can only go through ovirt-engine machine to access the host. It might be for this reason that I have failed in using SPICE and VNC to see the VM console. Is websocket proxy the viable solution in this case? What are the steps to set up such a connection? Any pointers? Yes, that's fine, this is the default deployment/installation. You sure you opened firewall for websocket proxy? Is is running? Engine-config's WebsocketProxy(or similar) parameter points to the right thing?

On my engine, I have: WebSocketProxy: Engine:6100 version: general WebSocketProxyTicketValiditySeconds: 120 version: general So is Webproxy using port 6100?
