The Spice plug-in is not supported in Red Hat Virtualization 4.0. The 'Native' spice connection should be used as a replacement.
If 'Plugin' is set as the default for Spice connections by user (via engine-config), it is automatically switched to 'Native' by calling engine-setup during upgrade.

the existing plugin users would be migrated to "native" Depends on: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/pull/171 (In reply to Marek Libra from comment #2) > Depends on: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/pull/171 Merged The Spice plugin is hidden in the 4.0 UI, but it remains in 4.0 code base and will be removed in 4.1. Following workaround re-enables the plugin in the UI to fix potential issues in production (will not be valid in 4.1): ENGINE_DB: set vdc_options.EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin to 'true' Since deprecation of this feature, users are strongly advised to move to 'Native' from 'Plugin' and avoid using this workaround.

The 4.0 is the right place, and we are removing cab rpm from the windows client builds started from 4.0. Even the code exists, we should make this option unavailable for the users. probably in the current build Verified with rhevm-4.0.2-0.1.rc.el7ev.noarch. Browser plugin option is removed from 'console invocations' section of console options menu of a vm with spice, and default is set to native. Also verified the W/A which allows to change the value of 'EnableDeprecatedClientModeSpicePlugin' to 'true' in vdc_options in order to restore the plugin option.
