I came across that before but the syntax of this file is nebulous to me
as it looks like some kind of JSON?! How do I add the serial console
there? What's the syntax?
something adding like this should be enough:
devices={device:console,type:console,deviceId:816e131e-5718-45e7-b1e3-81a6dfd51e19,address:None}
and please remove xmlBase64= line if there since it contains the XML for
libvirt as generated by the engine and that one, if there, wins over the
dictionary for vdsm.

I have tried this, too. The result was the following:
Command VM.updateDevice with args {'params': {'existingConnAction':
'keep', 'graphicsType': 'vnc', 'params': {},
'ttl': '120', 'deviceType':
'graphics', 'password': '<mypwd>'}, 'vmID':
'<vmid>'} failed:
(code=56, message=Failed to update device)
This sounds really weird.
