Description Andrei Stepanov 2016-08-30 12:18:07 UTC

Cannot change number of monitors for specific VM instance.

ovirt-engine-4.0.3-0.1.el7ev.noarch

1. Log in admin portal
2. At the top-right press "Configure" 
3. Select "Edit instance type"
4. Select existing instance profile or create a new one.
5. Press "Edit"
6. Select "Console" tab.
7. Set "video type" to qxl
8. Set "graphic type" to spice

Actual results: "number of monitors" is hardcoded to "1"

In my opinion, if the there is no way to change "Number of monitors", than there is no use to show it. Therefore, it can confuse a user.

Comment 1 Tomas Jelinek 2016-09-01 09:19:46 UTC

it is not actually hardcoded but depends on the selection of the "video type". For qxl it has to be enabled and for others disabled. It seems to work properly for VM, but for instance type is enabled only if the is qxl and the protocol is VNC. That definitely is a bug.

The fix would touch a part of code which could break something else easily. I would hesitate to put this to z-stream, postponing to 4.1

Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2016-12-21 09:09:05 UTC

The bug was not addressed in time for 4.1. Postponing to 4.2

Comment 4 Tomas Jelinek 2017-06-15 07:52:19 UTC

Instance types are not widely used, postponing.

Comment 6 Ryan Barry 2019-01-03 12:49:51 UTC

This will not be addressed in a reasonable timeframe. Please re-open if it's still important.
