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?
