Hi, we know about this and we already pushed patches that should resolve this issue in 4.1.1 (one was merged today in fact). We track the issue here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364132 and the patch that should resolve it is here: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/71472/ Applying the change manually or waiting for a new snapshot package in http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1-snapshot/rpm/<distro>/noarch/ might help you in the meantime.

I’ve been running oVirt 4.0.x for a while now and upgraded the engine and hosts to 4.1. Sometimes, on both 4.0 and 4.1, trying to run the “hosted-engine –console” command gives the following results:
The engine VM is running on this host
Connected to domain HostedEngine
Escape character is ^]
error: internal error: cannot find character device <null>
Once this starts occurring, it never works again.
When this happens I note that the hvc0 device does not exist in /dev and therefore there is no getty process running for that device. I notice that the “Enable VirtIO serial console” box is not checked on the hosted engine VM but when I check it and click OK it’s unchecked again when I open up the edit window again.
How do I get console control back from my oVirt hosts?
Thank you,
