Hello, The problem was actually failure to import an existing VMs from an existing oVirt storage into OLVM if the image is configured to use QXL/Spice. (The import UI doesn't let you change the VM display configuration. It will simply fail to import the VM). I fixed the problem by attaching the storage to a working CentOS based oVirt cluster, changed the console configuration on all the stored VMs to VGA/VNC and detached the storage. Once the VMs were configured to use VGA/VNC, OLVM managed to import them without an issue.
In short, anyone contemplating moving to OLVM - make sure all VMs use VGA/VNC. Thanks everyone for the help. - Gilboa On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 6:44 PM Jorge Visentini <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > If I understood well, the OS guest doesn't have support for VNC, just > QXL/Spice. > So...
