[ovirt-users] Any way to access the console of the hosted-engine?

[Martin Sivak]

Hello,

please take a look at https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/hosted-
engine/#handle-engine-vm-boot-problems

If by any chance you miss the console device completely, add this line to
the vm.conf you create:

devices={device:vnc,type:graphics,deviceId:f1d0394e-
b077-4ea6-99e5-b9b6b8fe073c,address:None}

Best regards
