Sorry I was misreading the web output at a first sight.
It is ok. I see hosts in Compute --> Infrastructure --> Hosts
I see managers in Compute --> Infrastructure --> Providers

Ok, I took the time to RTFM ;-)
here:
http://manageiq.org/docs/reference/latest/doc-Managing_Infrastructure_and_Inventory/miq/#_vnc_and_spice_consoles

It seems that for oVirt/RHEV it uses websocket proxy base console.
The 2 options offered in "Fine" version of manageiq are for oVirt:

Access --> VM Console
for spice/vnc through websocket proxy

Access -->Web Console
>From the pop-up help message when mouse over it says
Open a new browser window with Cockpit for this VM. This requires that
Cockpit is pre-configured on the VM

I should investigate this second option....

Thanks for the moment and if there is more information it will be of help
debugging.

BTW: I was able to successfully configure inside ManageIQ 3 environments:
- one standalone host with self hosted engine (in 4.1.2pre)
- one engine that manages 3 hosts (in 4.1.1)
- one ESXi vcenter with 6.0 that manages 6 hosts

Nice environment. I have to understand better role segregation, limits and
such...
