Bug 1002601

I believe that this feature is needed in an educational or training environment. It is vital for our environment as a College to have it or else we will need to look for another vendor for VDI.

1. Proposed title of this feature request: Instant View
2. Who is the customer behind the request?
Account: name (acct #)477056
TAM customer: No
SRM customer: No
Strategic: No

3. What is the nature and description of the request?
Provide a feature in rhev-manager that will allow spice to automatically remote into a VM without asking for a username or password using a unique url. In addition, have the VM launch in full screen by default.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

   1. Lab CLTs complain that they need to prep the classroom each time by login into 24 PCs per classroom. Many CLTs have multiple classes to prep and can exceed 72 PCs.

   2. Faculty and Staff need to have a transparent environment where they don't know that they are entering a virtual environment. The login will be handle by the preferred OS.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

It should be handle by a unique url provided by rhev-manager once you tagged the VM to have "Instant View". The Instant View feature will by default open the spice in full screen via a web browser.

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

In rhev manager --> Virtual Machines --> select a VM --> click edit --> click console --> have a check mark with Instant View. When checked a url will appear next to it telling the user that this is the method to connect.

When the user copies the url and paste it on a browser with the spice xpi plugin the remote viewer will open in full screen.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

No

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

RHEV 3.3

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?

No and No

10. List any affected packages or components.

I am not knowledgeable enough to know which packages or components will be affected.

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

Maybe, I will need to get some development equipment. Please check with me regarding this feature and I will do my best to test it out.
