[ovirt-users] Re: Console to HostedEngine

Hello Simone, thanks for your reply.

hosted-engine --vm-shutdown --vm-conf=/root/my_vm.conf

I came across that before but the syntax of this file is nebulous to me as it looks like some kind of JSON?! How do I add the serial console there? What's the syntax?

As an alternative, VNC console should work as well; you can set VNC password with hosted-engine --add-console-password

I have tried this, too. The result was the following: Command VM.updateDevice with args {'params': {'existingConnAction': 'keep', 'graphicsType': 'vnc', 'params': {}, 'ttl': '120', 'deviceType': 'graphics', 'password': '<mypwd>'}, 'vmID': '<vmid>'} failed: (code=56, message=Failed to update device)
