[ovirt-users] hosted-engine --deploy hanging, vm not responding

Folks, I executed "hosted-engine --deploy" on a fresh CentOS 7.2 install. Before executing the cmd I also installed the he-appliance. (Also ran yum update, installed a few packages and rebooted before doing the hosted engine deploy.) The process seems to go well but then it hangs here: The VM has been started. To continue please install OS and shutdown or reboot the VM. Make a selection from the options below: (1) Continue setup - OS installation is complete (2) Abort setup (3) Power off and restart the VM (4) Destroy VM and abort setup (1, 2, 3, 4)[1]: 1 Please reboot or shutdown the VM. Verifying shutdown... # hosted-engine --console The engine VM is running on this host Connected to domain HostedEngine Escape character is ^] error: internal error: character device console0 is not using a PTY I've also tried option 3 above, but then it comes back with Checking for oVirt-Engine status at hosted-engine-1.example.com... [ INFO ] Engine is still unreachable oVirt-Engine health status page is not yet reachable. I am admittedly mystified at this point. Any ideas? Thanks Mark
