[ovirt-users] Cannot find guest domain /var/tmp/console-9.rdp

[Bob Doolittle]

Looking at my console.rdp file (attached), it does not appear to have 
valid content. Nowhere does it specify an IP address or valid hostname 
to connect to so I don't see how it could possibly work. It has:
> full address:s:W2k8-build
but that is simply the name I assigned to the VM in the oVirt admin GUI, 
not an actual hostname. The address is assigned via DHCP so no hostname 
would work anyway. Since I can't get a console I can't determine what 
that address is, either :) (no guest agent running).

I only get a console.rdp file for my Windows 2008 VM. For my 
newly-imported Fedora 20 VM I get a console.vv which works fine.

Any clues? Why console.rdp instead of console.vv, and how is that 
supposed to be used to connect to the VM?

Note console for both VMs are configured as "Spice".

Thanks,
     Bob
