[ovirt-users] Spice on Ovirt 3.4.4 Windows 2012 Guests

[David Jaša]

Hi Gary,

I can't tell you what happens on upgrade but in order to be able to
choose Spice consoles for win8/win2012 guests, drop this file
to /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d:


cat > /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/99-spice_for_win8_and_win2012.properties << EOF
os.windows_8.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus
os.windows_8x64.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus
os.windows_2012x64.devices.display.protocols.value = qxl/qxl,vnc/cirrus
EOF

and restart the engine.

You won't be able to use qxl driver (and by extension multi-monitor and
continuous resolution change) but the features provided by spice-vdagent
should continue to work for you.

Regards,

David
