Dafna,

I have restarted the host and now started to install the Vm from scratch. 
Following Itamar's suggestion this time, I chose VNC as console option.
How can I use vnc viewer to attach to the VM?

I don't remember if virt-viewer detects the vnc in the .vv file.
but you should have the vnc password and connection details in the vv file to manually connect for sake of testing.

you should also be able to use ovirt cli utility to connect to a vm which will launch vnc as well (iirc, via virt-viewer, not vnc viewer)

David,

Let's try to debug the issue you have now.
Can you please attach engine and vdsm logs?

Thanks,

Dafna

  Before the VM install console problem, everything was normal, the cpu,
host, storage were done following the quick start guide.
  Well, whatever is the reason the symptoms you see suggests something is
either crashing (vdsm on the host) or is unreachable or misconfigured now.
  Depends what you did...:)
  Might be easier to start from scratch if unsure...

  Itamar,

  I tried what you suggested. Now when I restart the VM, it ends
up in
  unknown state. Moreover, all storage domains and the host are all
down. What do
  I need to do to recover from here?

  Thos is way beyond graphics issues. You have something wrong with
the basic
  setup. Storage connection?
  Can all hosts see the engine and vice versa? Any manual firewall
tweaks?

  Thanks,

  stop the VM. edit it, change console from spice to vnc,
start VM,
  connect to it again with vnc.

  I also tried " browser plugin" option by

  just to rule out things:
  - is the geust working correctly for you (ssh?)
  - does it happen to consume 100% cpu?
  - does vnc work for you correctly for this guest?

          i dont know why
they do not
  just have
  this
  already done in
       an rpm
          yes it probably
works , i
  have not

  but
       virt-viewer is
          deprecated in
favor of the
  newer
  Remote-Viewer
          by the way

          worst comes to
worst  you can
  always
  connect to
  the ovirt
       vm node
          server via
virt-manager gui
  in linux
  .. or using
  macports
       virt-manager
          in OSX

          and as long as
you have a
  username and
  password
  set up in
       libvirt
          password db

/etc/libvirt/passwd.db

          use saslpasswd2
-a libvirt
  $USER  on
  your ovirt
  vm host
       node
          to add your
user account so
  you dont
  mess with
  ovirt's
          if you have
winaxe or some
  other
  Xwindows on
  your windows
       machine you
          could probably
just ssh with
  putty.exe
  to your
  ovirt node
       server and
         run
          virt-manager
from there while
  displaying back to
  your
       windows desktop

             Hi,

             My
first time to
  install a
  VM on
  ovirt has
       encountered a
         problem. I
          tried
            to
             open
up a console
  to
  continue the
  install
       process. But all I
         got is a
          blank

window and a
  request to
  save a file
  which I
       did. The window
         remained
          blank
            and I

couldn't see
  any
  activities. I
  went to the
       node itself
         and tried
          to see
            if I

could use virsh
  tool to
  understand
  what's
       going on. But
         I was
          asked for
            a

username and
  password to
  perform any
  actions.
             Any
idea what I
  should do
  at this
  time?

David
