Description: #REF!

Description: The web interface for the Administration Portal is very similar between RHEV 3.5 and RHV 4.1. That being said, the console icon in the 3.5 version in Ravello worked flawlessly while the console icon in the 4.1 version in Ravello doesn't always seem to work. In the 4.1 version, I found that I would sometimes have to click the icon 3 or more times before it actually opened the console for the virtual machine. While this is annoying, I didn't find it to be a show stopper. I can see how it might frustrate students though. A simple alternative is to right-click the virtual machine and select Console from the menu. This worked every single time for me.

The current step in the guided exercise reads, "Open the virtual machine console and start a Kickstart installation of the virtual machine." The sub-step reads, "Once the virtual machine has started and the console button becomes available, click the active console button to start the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation." Maybe we can add an additional sentence, "An alternative to using the green console button is to right-click the virtual machine and select Console from the menu."
