I've been running oVirt 4.0.x for a while now and upgraded the engine and h=
osts to 4.1. 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?
Thank you,
Sandy Berger

Hi,
we know about this and we already pushed patches that should resolve
this issue in 4.1.1 (one was merged today in fact).
We track the issue here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364132 and the patch that
should resolve it is here: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/71472/
Applying the change manually or waiting for a new snapshot package in
http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1-snapshot/rpm/<distro>/noarch/
might help you in the meantime.
Best regards

Thank you for your response. I installed the ovirt-hosted-engine-ha and
ovirt-hosted-engine-setup RPMs from the snapshot link you sent me onto the two hosts that
can host the engine. I re-ran engine-setup on the engine just in case and rebooted the two
hosts capable of hosting the engine and the engine itself. I am now able to run the
"hosted-engine --console" command successfully but since the 4.1 upgrade the
console button in the toolbar for the hosted engine is dimmed in the GUI. That is still
the case. Is that expected behavior with 4.1 or is there some other issue going on?
Also, when I use the command "ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@engine," I get a
menu of VMs that I can choose from and get a serial console to them. That option has never
worked for the hosted engine. The engine shows up as a menu item but selecting it yields a
socket error. This works successfully on the other VMs.
Thanks!

since the 4.1 upgrade the console button in the toolbar for the
hosted engine is dimmed in the
GUI. That is still the case. Is that expected behavior with 4.1 or is there some other
issue
going on?
Also, when I use the command "ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@engine," I get a
menu of VMs that
I can choose from and get a serial console to them. That option has never worked for the
hosted
engine. The engine shows up as a menu item but selecting it yields a socket error. This
works
successfully on the other VMs.
Honestly, I have no idea here. I do not think we ever supported those
for hosted engine and the ssh console I hear the first time about. I
opened a bug so we can properly investigated it:

Hi,
it is strongly recommended to use ttyS0 (legacy serial driver emulation)
and not hvc0 (newer virtio serial driver) because we had reports
of kernel panics (!!!!) using the new driver.
We are going to re-evaluate this setting for 4.2.0, and, perhaps, later
4.1.z, but for 4.1.0 this is still valid.
In terms of Vm configuration, the console device should have the
"consoleType" = "serial" setting.
This is the default Engine sends.
Not sure what HE is doing here, not if you fix it manually.
