Make QXL the default
Hey all We've just updated to RHV4.4SP1 (aka 4.5) from v4.4 and now our ansible workflows are failing with: cannot run VM. Selected display type is not supported by the operating system The OS are RHEL6 and RHEL7 (no, I can't change this as the software stack only works with these) I couldn't find anything in the ansible ovirt collection to change from VGA to QXL. Any ideas on how I can make QXL the default instead of VGA? Maybe a DB change? Thanks
Hi all I edited /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/00-defaults.properties and added the lines: os.rhel_6x64.devices.display.protocols.value = spice/qxl os.rhel_7x64.devices.display.protocols.value = spice/qxl os.rhel_8x64.devices.display.protocols.value = spice/qxl And its working now. Is this OK or is there a better way to handle this? Thanks On Mon, 1 Aug 2022 at 11:10, Colin Coe <colin.coe@gmail.com> wrote:

This is one option, which drops all other options when you do this(VGA, Bochs, spice/vnc..). How about trying to edit the Blank template, changing it to SPICE/QXL? Regards, Liran

By the way it is recommended to create a new file to edit these values :
# * value overriding - # Supports versions of configuration through file prefix # e.g - all or some entries in this file can be overridden by entries in # 10-osinfo.properties
And its working now. Is this OK or is there a better way to handle this?

As Liran commented above, such changes should be made in a different file so they won't be overridden when you'll upgrade ovirt-engine; and as Liran commented below, if you're ok with setting the default display to spice/qxl for all operating systems, it's easier to change the blank template
