Re: [External] : Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
Hello, Thanks for the prompt reply. Can I somehow modify the VM configuration on disk (v5 data storage on an NFS share) before importing the VM (using Storage domain / NFS / VM import). Alternatively can I somehow get OLVM to ignore the error when trying to import the VM, and use the UI to switch VGA/VNC? - Gilboa On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 3:55 PM Marcos Sungaila via Users <users@ovirt.org> wrote:
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.

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

Hi, If I understood well, the OS guest doesn't have support for VNC, just QXL/Spice. So... I guess you need to install the vnc drivers on the guest before the migration, buuut I think this should already be installed... I believe that the best way to "import" is to use the *ovirt-img download-disk* and *ovirt-img upload-disk* cli to download and upload the disk to new domain-storage, so after, to create the new vm configuration. I passed this issue many times. Cheers, Em qui., 16 de mai. de 2024 às 10:14, Gilboa Davara <gilboad@gmail.com> escreveu:

Hello, The problem was actually failure to import an existing VMs from an existing oVirt storage into OLVM if the image is configured to use QXL/Spice. (The import UI doesn't let you change the VM display configuration. It will simply fail to import the VM). I fixed the problem by attaching the storage to a working CentOS based oVirt cluster, changed the console configuration on all the stored VMs to VGA/VNC and detached the storage. Once the VMs were configured to use VGA/VNC, OLVM managed to import them without an issue. In short, anyone contemplating moving to OLVM - make sure all VMs use VGA/VNC. Thanks everyone for the help. - Gilboa On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 6:44 PM Jorge Visentini <jorgevisentini@gmail.com> wrote:
