I've been running oVirt 4.0.x for a while now and upgraded the engine and h=
osts to 4.1. Sometimes, on both 4.0 and 4.1, trying to run the "hosted-engi=
ne -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 th=
erefore there is no getty process running for that device. I notice that th=
e "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 e=
dit window again.
How do I get console control back from my oVirt hosts?
Thank you,
Sandy Berger
