RHEV 3.3 to 3.4 upgrade changed Windows VM console setting from VNC to RDP

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Before upgrading to 3.4 used to connect to Windows VMs trough the web-gui by clicking on the the little green icon with tooltip "Console". The firefox browser would return a file with .vv extension.

  • After upgrading to 3.4 when connecting to a windows VM it would return a file with extension .rdp.

  • Only impacted Windows VMs. All other linux vms are still sending .vv files when trying to console to them.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.3 to 3.4 upgrade
