[ovirt-users] Know the console client IP from guest

[Simon Lévesuqe]

 From a windows guest (can be useful for linux guest as well), is it 
possible to get the IP of the spice client connected to console?

I setup oVirt for a VDI. The users use thin clients that PXE boot using 
LTSP. I need the client IP to offer remote support via VNC. Now, I use 
epoptes as remote support tool, its an excellent peace of software but I 
need technicians from other branch of the company to be able to offer 
remote support to my users and they are all Windows guy ans don't want 
to connect to the LTSP server to start epoptes... They already use VNC 
to support Wyse type clients so I installed x11vnc on my clients chroot 
and setup it to start at boot. I know this is a security issue but this 
is the boss decision.

Some client log to terminal servers using xfreerdp (LTSP clients boot 
directly to xfreerdp). In that case, everything is ok, we setup bginfo 
to print the client name and ip as they are windows environment variables.

The problem is that many other clients boot to the oVirt user portal and 
users log to Windows 7 vm using Virt-Viewer and Spice. In bginfo, the 
only thing i can get is the IP of the Windows guest. It's ok, for most 
cases we can take control of the guest ant it do the trick but sometimes 
it's useful to vnc the thin itself.

Thanks!
