The issue with the console device will be fixed for new deployment as for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1561964 If you deployed in the past, you have to edit the definition of the engine VM on the engine enabling the serial console device and reboot it.in the mean time you can also use VNC as detailed below.
The person that helped me said to do the following:
Run on your first host
hosted-engine --add-console-password
to set a temporary VNC password and then connect to it over VNC with something like
remote-viewer vnc://<host>:<port>
Which got me in and allowed me to fix the networking once I saw what was wrong… can you get to the console like that?

Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: Hosted Engine deploy failed on new HCI build
I haven't had much luck with this yet I completely wiped the three hosts and did the entire install over again from the ground up only this time I used dhcp instead of static IP for the hostedengine deployment and ended up failing again in the exact step as before, waiting for the VM to come back but never does.
I still feel like it could be network related in some way just not sure how. Any ideas?

Latest version of oVirt node 4.2 installed on three hosts. I completed successfully the cockpit gdeploy process to deploy HCI. All of that went well with no errors. I then proceeded to the hosted engine deployment step which eventually failed (log attached).
This is the current status:
--== Host 1 status ==--
conf_on_shared_storage : True
Status up-to-date : True
Hostname : MASKED
Host ID : 1
Engine status : {"reason": "failed liveliness check", "health": "bad", "vm": "up", "detail": "Up"}
This indicates that the engine VM is up at libvirt eyes but the engine could not be reached over the network.I'd suggest to open a console to the engine VM (also the VNC one) and check it's network configuration.If you are using DHCP, do you have a working reservation for that?______________________________Score : 3400

If I do hosted-engine --console I get:
The engine VM is running on this host
Connected to domain HostedEngine
Escape character is ^]
error: internal error: cannot find character device <null>
does anyone know why it may have failed or what I could do to recover from this? I'm thinking it could have potentially failed due to some problem with network config. If I could get a console in to the engine VM I might be able to fix it but that serial error above is preventing me from reaching the vm console to diagnose further.
Log of deploy attached:
Thanks!
