Dear Community:
The local drive on a host running ovirt-node-ng-4.1.9 in a three node cluster failed. I
have production JIRA and Postres running on it at the time, not in HA, just simple
vm's. Storage is via NFS on a Synology NAS. Hosted Engine was on a different host,
but JIRA and Postgres vm's showed nonresponsive. I tried different things but then
stupidly thought that upgrading my Hosted Engine would reinitialize the vm's that were
on the failed host. Update of HE seemed to go well (output below) but now my Hosted
Engine, while up, fails the liveliness check and the web management console is
unavailable. I cannot console into the HE from the host it is running on. Below are the
results of my attempts to console into the Hosted Engine. Please help! I have search
forums, lists and Google but have not been able to fix this. My coworkers and manager are
anxious.

When I try "hosted-engine --console" after setting the console password I get
The engine VM is running on this host
Connected to domain HostedEngine
Escape character is ^]
_
The prompt is non-responsive except for the escape character key combo.

"virsh -r list" gives ID 3, Name: HostedEngine, State: running
"virsh -r console HostedEngine" gives
Connected to domain HostedEngine
Escape character is ^]
error: operation forbidden: read only access prevents virDomainOpenConsole
"virsh -r vncdisplay HostedEngine" gives "0:0" and returns me to
prompt

I am SSHed into the host running my Hosted Engine from a CentOS7 minimal install with
packages xorg-x11-server-Xorg, xorg-x11-xauth and xorg-x11-apps installed. The result of
"grep -i X11Forwarding /etc/ssh/sshd_config" shows it set to "Yes".
I SSH into the host using "ssh -Y root(a)xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" I am logged into the
CentOS7 minimal install as root. I know root is poor practice but was trying to minimize
anything that could be causing an issue.

Below are the results of my attempt to update Hosted Engine (slightly redacted to remove
personal info):
