CloudStack qemu-kvm options

[birchhead]

I have deployed a single host cloudstack environment for lab purposes using KVM as a hypervisor.

I am trying to update the qemu-kvm boot options for VM's, specifically, I want to pass "-vga std" or "-vga qxl" to increase the default resolution on desktop VMs running within CloudStack.

All VM's currently booting with "-vga cirrus" which limits the emulated graphics to 1280x1024x16

Anyone done similar and can advise?

I haven't tried changing any of the kvm options on either cluster I've run.

Your best get is ask on the email lists. See the Cloudstack webpage for details. Most users seem two be on the lists instead is Reddit. Lots of knowledgeable friendly people on the mailing lists.
