You can now connect to the VM with the following command:
	/usr/bin/remote-viewer vnc://localhost:5900
Use temporary password "3042QHpX" to connect to vnc console.

Comment 1 Simone Tiraboschi 2016-12-06 14:03:19 UTC
Yes, the dependency on remote viewer as been removed as for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1333449
Now you can just use 'hosted-engine --console' to locally access the engine VM over a serial (text only) console.
You could also still use remote-viewer from other hosts for a graphical console as for the provided instructions:

 [ INFO  ] Creating VM
           You can now connect to the VM with the following command:
                 hosted-engine --console
           You can also graphically connect to the VM from your system with the following command:
                 hosted-engine --console vnc://c72he20161206h1.localdomain:5900
           Use temporary password "8498sPvY" to connect to vnc console.
           Please ensure that your Guest OS is properly configured to support serial console according to your distro documentation.
           Follow http://www.ovirt.org/Serial_Console_Setup#I_need_to_access_the_console_the_old_way for more info.
           If you need to reboot the VM you will need to start it manually using the command:
           hosted-engine --vm-start
           You can then set a temporary password using the command:
           hosted-engine --add-console-password
