OLVM (OL8) - Spice support completely missing ! How to enable ?

morgan coxAug 16 2022 — edited Aug 16 2022

Hi.
We have had a test Ovirt system running for a year or so, originally started on Ovirt 4.4.x. Spice support is active 'out the box'.
We have recently installed a OLVM setup, both engine and nodes are running OL 8.6.
There is no spice support at all... When you install a node using OLVM (8) spice-server is not installed, all spice options are greyed out also for VMs, etc
i.e there is no QXL driver choice in the VM options and not spice, just VNC..
I compared an Ovirt node to OLVM and noticed the Ovirt node has these packages

[mcox@ovirt1~]$ rpm -qa |grep -i spice
qemu-kvm-ui-spice-6.2.0-12.module_el8.7.0+1140+ff0772f9.x86_64
spice-server-0.14.3-4.el8.x86_64
The OLVM node has no spice packages ...
I tried installing spice-server (the qemu-kvm-ui package is not in the OL8 repos..), re-adding host (and removing host/cluster and re-adding them) and still no spice support (although after installing spice server I can see in the host info (for node)
'SPICE Version: 0.14.3 - 4.el8'
How do you get spice to work with OLVM ? Or is it removed on purpose (or is this a bug ?)
Thanks
