Description Jiri Belka 2015-10-08 10:41:47 UTC 
Description of problem:

I had a VM running on my 3.6 engine env (including RHEL7 hosts with 3.6 vdsm). I needed to test something so I modified this VM settings and changed cluster to another one with 3.5 cluster level and got this warning:

--->%---
	
Operation Canceled
Error while executing action:

jb-bz1:

    Cannot edit VM Cluster. Selected display type is not supported by the operating system.

---<%---

What is 'display type' in this context? There's no word 'display' in VM Settings/Console; this error causes big confusion! I have no idea what's wrong, SPICE is supported on 3.5 cluster and RHEL6 64bit OS type.

Changing QXL to Cirrus causes switch to VNC (not acceptable, 3.5 supports SPICE). Only SPICE is acceptable for me for this VM and I can't have SPICE for this VM, this is dumb. I can't even change to VNC!

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhevm-webadmin-portal-3.6.0-0.18.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 3.6 engine, 3.6 cluster, 3.6 host (RHEL7)
2. install RHEL6 64bit VM with _SPICE_
3. 3.5 cluster, 3.5 host/vdsm (RHEL6)
4. edit the installed VM settings while done and switch cluster to the 3.5 one

Actual results:
-     Cannot edit VM Cluster. Selected display type is not supported by the operating system.
- cannot get SPICE for this VM

Expected results:
should work, we support SPICE for ages
