build sequence:
- otopi 1.4 (atm from git master) (rpms: otopi, otopi-java, otopi-devtools)
- ovirt-host-deploy from git master + patch 38091
  it may happen that ovirt-host-deploy rebuilt from rpms has lower priority than
  snapshots from maven, so ovirt-engine with patch 38095 won't build.
  workaround: overwrite jar and pom in local maven repo.
- engine from git master + patches 38092-38095 + 35887 + 35906
  patch 40832 is important from end result and must be merged but it is not 
  critical for testing
separately and independently:
- vdsm from git master + patc 40704

- ovirt-vmconsole package + deps

the problem started at the problem report, rfe bugs are not for these discussions. if anyone of internal team has an issue, he can contact people for help to determine the proper method file it if any.

private comments are banned in any case.

Please open a bug on this feature and block the feature, but don't fail it. It needs to be tracked separately.

Added https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1256214 to provide required information.

Due to bug 1256214 I can't proceed with vm-console-proxy to be enabled over the engine VM.

again, not the place for status/progress reports.

also, this bug happens only when performing upgrade, so the above statement is unclear and somewhat incorrect.

Incorrect, it wasn't an upgrade.
I've tried to add the functionality of serial console to the engine and failed because we have a bug on second run of the engine setup.

I also tried to run the setup on clean environment first time and also failed, while serial-console-proxy package already installed on engine, but the engine-setup fails.

running setup 2nd time == upgrade.

"clean environment" != an environment in which there are left overs from previous setup.

please adjust your terms.

until this is resolved please progress using vanilla rhel while running setup once with all required features.

Looks more or less ok, top works, vi works, even able to play snakes[1] via serial.

My bad, forgot to configure the Permissions for the VM, after adding admin as UserVmManager, serial connectivity was successfully established.
Working just fine now.

how can this still be on QA and planned for 3.6rc ? 3.6.0 is already out..

is this in 3.6.0? if it's not released yet, will it be in 3.6.2?

Thanks!

The basic feature is released since 3.6.0, is tested and works.
The thing is (minor) fixes, updates and RFEs both minor and major are attached to this BZ, so the state may get confusing.

Sure thing, bug #1306318 was opened accordingly.
