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


Right. Just beware it may not work very well


Access -->Web Console
>From the pop-up help message when mouse over it says

Yes, it's not what you would understand as a guest console in oVirt


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...

The hosts should be added automatically. Moti, I remember that you
mentioned some issue with hosts. Was that resolved?

OK, after some attempts to upgrade in place my capablanca VM (just for
learning), I abandoned it.
It seems the euwe stable qemu/kvm has some problems too in general... I get
this during the initialization after VM start

appliance_console_cli --region 0 --internal --password smartvm
/opt/rubies/ruby-2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/bundler-1.14.6/lib/bundler/source/git/git_proxy.rb:225:in
allowed_in_path': The git source
https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-providers-amazon is not yet checked
out. Please runbundle install` before trying to start your application
(Bundler::GitError)

Then I have tried the just released Fine qemu/kvm rc1 image and it works
ok, so I'm using it for my tests...
I was able to add oVirt engine 4.1.2 pre.
But now I see almost all (VMs, datastores, ecc.) but the hosts...
Furthermore in Compute --> Infrastructure --> Hosts I do find the engine
but not the host...
Do I have to add in any way also the hypervisors to the ManageIQ
configuration? Or should it be automatic?

Also, do you know when I choose to see console in ManageIQ, both the "web
console"  and the "WM console" options in "Access" menu, from where the
connection is originated: my client where browser is running or from
manageiq server and then passed in any way to client?
Which protocol does the web console use?

Thanks,
Gianluca

Yes, capablanca is too old.

The instructions that you mention should still work, but remember to
make a backup before doing that in your production environment.

Anyhow, I'd suggest that you install a fresh euwe, if that is an option
for you.

There is no support for YUM/RPM upgrades, as far as I know.

I was testing an older appliance ad I'm noticing now that is based on
capablanca, so probably too old... and it didn't work
Do you think there is a quick path to update it to the latest or better to
directly deploy the euwe one?
I have found this old link:
http://mariopang.blogspot.it/2015/05/update-manageiq-image.html
but I don't know if it is still ok

hopefully there is also a yum/rpm path?

Managing oVirt 4 is supported since ManageIQ 'darga' release, which is
the previous release, current is 'euwe'.

The issue that you mention is already closed.

Like with any piece of software there may be issues. We are committed to
fix them. If you find one, please let us know.
