Hi,

It looks like the graphical console fields are not editable for hosted engine vm.
We are trying to figure out how to solve this issue, it is not recommended to change db values manually.

Thanks,
Jenny

BTW: if I try to set the video type to Cirrus from web admin gui (and automatically the Graphics Protocol becomes "VNC"), I get this when I press the OK button: 

Error while executing action:

HostedEngine:
  • There was an attempt to change Hosted Engine VM values that are locked.
The same if I choose "VGA"

I verified that I already have in place this parameter:

[root@ractorshe ~]# engine-config -g AllowEditingHostedEngine
AllowEditingHostedEngine: true version: general
[root@ractorshe ~]# 



Hello is there a solution for this problem?
I'm now in 4.1.2 but still not able to access the engine console

[root@ractor ~]# hosted-engine --add-console-password --password=pippo
no graphics devices configured
[root@ractor ~]#

In web admin 

Graphics protocol: None  (while in edit vm screen it appears as "SPICE" and still I can't modify it)
Video Type: QXL

Any chance for upcoming 4.1.3? Can I test it it there is new changes related to this problem.

the qemu-kvm command line for hosted engine is now this one:
