[ovirt-users] Re: Console to HostedEngine
Hi Simone,
it worked - I can access the server via SSH again to solve the original
problem (which is an httpd problem). Concerning the add-console-password
problem: It sounds weird to me, too.
For others: In my case the console device was there, it just did not
have any ID or address:
devices={device:console,type:console}
Regards
Daniel
something adding like this should be enough:
devices={device:console,type:console,deviceId:816e131e-5718-45e7-b1e3-81a6dfd51e19,address:None}
and please remove xmlBase64= line if there since it contains the XML for
libvirt as generated by the engine and that one, if there, wins over the
dictionary for vdsm.

I have tried this, too. The result was the following:
Command VM.updateDevice with args {'params': {'existingConnAction':
'keep', 'graphicsType': 'vnc', 'params': {}, 'ttl': '120',
'deviceType':
'graphics', 'password': ''}, 'vmID': ''} failed:
(code=56, message=Failed to update device)
This sounds really weird.

Hello Simone,
thanks for your reply.
hosted-engine --vm-shutdown --vm-conf=/root/my_vm.conf
I came across that before but the syntax of this file is nebulous to me
as it looks like some kind of JSON?! How do I add the serial console
there? What's the syntax?
As an alternative, VNC console should work as well; you can set VNC
password with
hosted-engine --add-console-password
I have tried this, too. The result was the following:
