indeed
what you can use in latest oVirt (master/3.3) is:
SPICE with virt-viewer (standalone client), invoked via ActiveX plugin
deploy as descibed at http://www.ovirt.org/How_to_Connect_to_SPICE_Console_With_Portal
needs IE8+
SPICE with virt-viewer (standalone client), invoked via download of MIME file
browser prompts you where to open the file - associate with the virt-viewer application (needs to be a recent one)
works in all browsers/platforms
SPICE with spice-html5 (integrated client)
you need IE11 or (decently recent) Firefox or Chrome
opens in a new page, no client-side installation required, however you need to deploy and set up ovirt-websocket-proxy, typically on engine host.
VNC with novnc(integrated client)
same as spice-html5
VNC with virt-viewer or other VNC client (standalone), invoked via MIME
again, works in all browsers
RDP with rdesktop or native Microsoft client, invoked via MIME
works in all browsers, however the format of the downloaded file is only recognizable by the native Microsoft RDP client
you need to check in display options dialog the way how the console is invoked(plugin or mime or auto based on your platform/browser)
If anything is not according to the options above please let me know
Thanks,
michal
