Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Openshift 4.8.0-rc.1
CNV: 2.6.5
Fresh installation deployed with assisted bare metal ( running on baremetal single node deployment (SNO))

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Openshift 4.8.0-rc.1 ( I have not tested another method than Assisted SNO)
2. Install Openshift CNV operator, create HCO
3. Spin a VM 
In my case I imported a RHEL 8.3 ISO as a boot CDROM. 

Actual results:
Import succeed 
Pod virtlauncher is in Running state. 
VM is in running state
Cannot connect to VNC, web UI shows Connecting 

Expected results:
VNC console shows VM display.

Hi Martin,

Could you attach the yaml file for your VM definition? Also, must-gather output would be very helpful to help us diagnose what happened.

Hi Martin,

CNV 2.6.5 should be installed on OCP 4.7. What did you install with OCP 4.8 RC-0?

Hi, I simply took the version that was in the Operator Hub of the newly installed OCP 4.8. which is 2.6.5... can this issue be related to a mismatch of versions ? Thanks,

VM definition

--- Additional comment from mouimet on 2021-06-29 13:26:44 UTC ---

The VM (see attachment) was created using the VM creating wizard.

Martin,

Could you please confirm that the VM is actually running. The yaml you shared has "Running = false"

Please install virt-viewer in order to confirm behavior of "virtctl vnc"

I just installed the latest OCP 4.8 nightly + CNV 2.6.5 + HCO to reproduce this issue and for some reason, in the web UI, "Virtual Machines" does not appear under "Workloads".
I double checked that everything is running fine, I'm not sure what's causing this.
Any idea would be appreciated!
Thanks

If it's OCP 4.8 nightly, it should has the fixes that could show virtualization on CNV 2.6.5, it's confirmed that OCP 4.8.0-rc.1 works with CNV 2.6.

Confirmed the issue is reproduced on OCP-4.8.0-rc.1 + 2.6.5.

Found rc1 and finally got a repro.
I confirmed that `virtctl vnc` works fine, so the issue must be UI-related...
I also tried creating a VM in the default namespace, in case the namespace was somehow omitted, but no luck there either.
