we can also provide virtio-console / console access to qemu serial on local machine? (In reply to Itamar Heim from comment #1) > we can also provide virtio-console / console access to qemu serial on local > machine? CCing Alex that have already looked into virtio-console issues. Added a note remembering to the user that remote-viewer is a graphical application. (In reply to Itamar Heim from comment #1) > we can also provide virtio-console / console access to qemu serial on local > machine? Found a way for enabling the virsh console using devices keyword in vm.conf, reopening the bug patch pushed upstream master. Add console device to the Hosted Engine VM definition. Allows to connect to the VM without X. Added a note in the same dialog where we remind that X is needed for remote-viewer. patch 19369 merged upstream master. From Tim Hildred in http://gerrit.ovirt.org/18930 > Sorry I'm late the the party, I was on PTO for a couple of weeks. I have two comments: > We sell RHEV as "easy to use" to shops that generally use windows. As it is, the reminder is essentially meaningless to Windows admins: "Please note that in order to use remote-viewer you need to be able to run graphical applications." > Be specific about what your users need. This would be better: "In order to use the remote-viewer client to connect to and control your hosted-engine virtual machine, the hosted-engine virtual machine requires software allowing graphical applications to run. At the very least, you need the following packages installed on your hosted-engine virtual machine to allow remote-viewer connections:{insert required packages here}" It make sense. > my other comment: there is no mention of console connections in this code. Is that on purpose? Console has been added in another patch: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/19369 (In reply to Sandro Bonazzola from comment #10) > > We sell RHEV as "easy to use" to shops that generally use windows.

Well, Tim has misunderstood here, it's not the VM that needs graphical support, it's the host. Here is the new message (including the virtual console): Please note that in order to use remote-viewer you need to be able to run graphical applications. This means that if you are using ssh you have to supply the -Y flag (enables trusted X11 forwarding). Otherwise you can run the command from a terminal in your preferred desktop environment. If you cannot run graphical applications you can connect to the graphic console from another host or connect to the console using the following command: virsh -c qemu+tls://{host}/system console HostedEngine where {host} is automatically filled. patch merged upstream master and 1.0 fixed. ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-1.0.0-0.5.2.beta1.local.el6.noarch This bug is currently attached to errata RHBA-2013:15257.
