Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
Hello all, I'm evaluating switching our existing oVirt clusters to Oracle Linux 8 oVirt 4.5. It seems that Oracle has completely disabled QXL/Spice (leaving only VGA and Cirrus) on their oVirt fork (1). I'm trying to import a VM from an existing oVirt data storage into an Oracle cluster, but I'm getting 'VAR__ACTION__IMPORT,VAR__TYPE__VM,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_ILLEGAL_VM_DISPLAY_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_OS' error. Comparing the spice-related packages in Oracle and CentOS based oVirt installation, I see no changes. Two questions: 1. Can I somehow enable QXL support in Oracle oVirt? 2. Assuming I can't, can I somehow editing the VM configuration without mounting in a temporary CentOS based cluster, editing the configuration and reimporting it into Oracle? Thanks, Gilboa 1) https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/olvm-ol8-spice-support-completely...
Hi, I guess this will need to be patched to make it work. SPICE is also removed on centos 9/rhel 9, so that's the same for oVirt. I would suggest to reconfigure all the vm's on the source to VNC, and then export/import them. But if you have Oracle Linux, I guess you can just open a support ticket with Oracle to get it fixed?

Hello, Thanks for the prompt response. Sadly enough in-order to modify the existing data storage and switch to VNC/VGA, I need to reinstall CentOS / oVirt (which seems to be broken right now due to ansible dependency issue). Can I somehow edit the image file (I managed to locate the image disk image on our NFS NAS) and change the display configuration? As for filing an Oracle support case, as we have yet to decide if we want to switch to Oracle linux. As such, we don't have a support contract.

Hi Gilboa, The spice protocol has been deprecated by Red Hat for over 3 years. It may still be available in CentOS or RHEL versions but not in OL. It cannot be enabled.
