This page:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html/virtual_machine_management_guide/sect-starting_the_virtual_machine#Opening_a_Serial_Console_to_a_Virtual_Machine

contains this command: 

# ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@MANAGER_IP --vm-name vm1

This will fail as it's interpreted as an option to ssh

The correct command should be:

# ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@MANAGER_IP connect --vm-name vm1

The same applies to:

# ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@MANAGER_IP --vm-id vmid1
