Re: [Users] Blank VM Install Console
Hi Michal, I am starting from scratch. I set the console to SPICE and restarted the VM. Now if I choose Browser plugin as console option, there is a pop up window saying setting up spice then an error message saying it's fail to connect to the graphics server. I guess this might be because my browser machine doesn't have connection to the ovirt-node machine. It has to go through ovirt-engine machine If I choose SPICE HTML5, then a new browser window shows up but it remains dark. I can't see anything. Any idea what's wrong or missing? I don't see an Spice proxy option. So which option should I use to fit into my setup? None of them seems to work so far. I 'd like to pick the most promising one and pursue it further.

I have a set up like this on three different physical servers: Browser (RHEL6, firefox 24.2.0) --- ovirt-engine --- host (CPU) However the browser machine doesn't have direct connection to the host. It can only go through ovirt-engine machine to access the host. It might be for this reason that I have failed in using SPICE and VNC to see the VM console. Is websocket proxy the viable solution in this case? What are the steps to set up such a connection? Any pointers? Yes, that's fine, this is the default deployment/installation. You sure you opened firewall for websocket proxy? Is is running? Engine-config's WebsocketProxy(or similar) parameter points to the right thing?

Not quite right. I have virt-viewer-x86-0.5.6.msi or virt-viewer-0.5.6.exe installed on my windows 7 pc and that works fine with ovirt-3.2/3 or higher. Opens both vnc and spice consoles.
