Hello,

I have hit what seems to be a bug in oVIrt Python SDK, when deploying OpenStack 14 (Rocky) in configuration virtualized controllers, oVirt VMs; Ironic oVirt driver is used in this case, which uses oVirt Python SDK to talk to manipulate VMs.

The driver seem to work in such a way that at certain stages it retrieves a VM configuration and updates it (e.g. changes the boot device). However during such  update some other changes in configuration of the VM happen: e.g. if the VM had VirtIO serial console enabled, after the update that serial console becomes disabled. Perhaps when a VMs config is updated some XML fields of its configuration are not written back as they should be?

We have noticed that since the OpenStack deployment fails on controllers if it cannot output to the serial console.

I would appreciate any help/workaround for this issue.

Thanks, Denis
