You can just ssh to the engine VM; if you deployed using the appliance you were asked about setting its root password via cloud-init. 2. Since 3.6.1, the engine will import the hosted-engine storage domain and you'll see the engine VM in the engine. You could open its console from here as for other VMs. 3. You could directly connect to it with VNC/spice also from other hosts: on the host where the engine VM runs: [root@c72het20151222h1 vdsm_logs]# hosted-engine --add-console-password Enter password: code = 0 message = 'Done' on your machine: /bin/remote-viewer vnc://<host_ip>:5900 4. You could use the VM virtio serial console if the VM is configured for that (and the engine appliance is) as described here: http://www.ovirt.org/Serial_Console_Setup#I_need_to_access_the_console_the_old_way > > > *From:* Will Dennis > *Sent:* Tuesday, December 22, 2015 1:37 PM > *To:* 'Simone Tiraboschi' > *Cc:* users > *Subject:* RE: [ovirt-users] How to run "engine-backup"? > > > > Are there any docs on using this (other than the ‘—help” option text)? > > > > Also, I do not have a GUI environment on my oVirt hosts; how to I display > the console of the hosted engine VM if I need it? > > > > *From:* Simone Tiraboschi [mailto:stira...@redhat.com > <stira...@redhat.com>] > *Sent:* Tuesday, December 22, 2015 11:44 AM > *To:* Will Dennis > *Cc:* users > *Subject:* Re: [ovirt-users] How to run "engine-backup"? > > > > yes, engine-backup is on the engine VM :-) > > >
