This is an error from the VNC client, probably related to X forwarding. Try setting the DISPLAY environment variable before running remote-viewer: 'export DISPLAY=0:0' Or alternatively, you could setup port forwarding when connecting the the host, and then run the VNC client on your local machine: ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx remote-viewer vnc://localhost:5900 Andrej On 1 June 2018 at 05:51, <clam2718@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
You could try accessing the engine VM using the VNC. First, set the VNC password using 'hosted-engine --add-console-password', and then connect to the host using a VNC viewer, for example: 'remove-viewer vnc://HOST_IP:5900'
The liveliness check just checks if the web UI is running and reachable. If the VNC works, try checking if the 'ovirt-engine' service is running on the VM and that the network is configured properly.

Any other ideas?
