I'm running with theEL6 release of ovirt-engine:

After creating a virtual machine, I cannot view the console if protocol
is set to "SPICE".  If the protocol is set to VNC, I can view the
console, but it's not very convenient since I have to load a separate
VNC viewer, and enter the IP and port of the engine, and a randomly
generated password each time. How does one make console work via SPICE?
Is this a known issue because RHEL6 wouldn't have all the updated
libraries of later a later Fedora release?

which client are you using?

Actually, I realize the problem now... my client was a Windows client.
The server is EL6, the VM is EL6.  I'll try with a Linux client later.
I'm sure it will work.  It's not clear whether SPICE will also require
entering a randomly generated password.  The problem is the randomly
generated password.  There's probably a way to fix that as well... I
just need to look more.  oVirt is terrific, but finding all the
information from a variety of sources and putting it all together can
be tricky .. but I like a challenge! :)

Actually, I had another thought after clicking send.... You know, I sit writing this email on a Chromium device where SPICE won't work, and neither will VNC (at least to my knowledge). Even if I had access to VNC here, I still couldn't see the console because I'm not connected to the management network (without some fancy SSH tunneling). It would sure be nice if there was a truly multiplatform way of handling the oVirt consoles, and having the viewer integrated so that as long as I can login to the engine, I can view, no matter where I am. Dreaming? :) I don't think so - I just woke up! :)

Jason.
