Description Julie 2016-08-31 06:21:30 UTC
With the current ISO installation method, once RHV is up and running, and users try to access the OSE or CFME virtual machine (RHV Admin Portal-> select a virtual machine-> console), a console.vv file is downloaded, but user cannot open it with an appropriate application.

The QCI machine is not registered to subscription manager by default so users cannot install the virt-viewer package without subscribing the QCI machine first.

If user chooses to register QCI during fusor-installer stage, running 'yum install virt-viewer' solves the problem.
