video driver selection for VNC consoles
I’d like to use “-vga vga” for my VNC console VMs instead of “-vga cirrus”, any easy way to do this? -Darrell

very easly, use os-info to change vnc/cirrus to vnc/vga for the OS you like you need to create 10-osinfo.properties under share/ovirt-engine/conf/ to override os configurations (look at osinfo-defaults.properties and in http://www.ovirt.org/OS_info for more info )

Nice, I missed this somewhere along the line. Unfortunately, it’s not working for me. I created a 10-osinfo.properties in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf and symlinked it into /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d for good measure, restarted jboss-as and ovirt-engine, and started up a VM but it still got a -vga cirrus device. Contents of my 10-osinfo.properties: os.other.devices.display.protocols.value = vnc/vga,qxl/qxl I notice I didn’t have an os.other.devices.display.protocols in my existing 00-defaults.properties. I’m running 3.3.4 on this cluster, is this fully supported in that version? On Jul 9, 2014, at 4:42 AM, Omer Frenkel <ofrenkel@redhat.com> wrote:

well i forgot to mention that this will only work for new vms, or if you edit the vm and switch the display type (to spice and after that again to vnc) because this value is saved in the db the moment the display device is created (add vm or update of display type) please pay attention that win8,win8x64,win2012x64 override this value also

Yeap, discovered that this weekend. Also updated to 3.4.3 and now have a default entry for this in the 00-defaults.properties. Now working as expected, thanks! I see there are some checks for these values at VM start, my one win8x64 vm with a SPICE console wouldn’t start because of the new default entry. Seems odd that it only partially applies at VM start, I’d expect it to be all or nothing at that state (Ie, if it only changes at device creation, why does it check at other times as well?). Not a huge deal though.
