Hi Simone, it worked - I can access the server via SSH again to solve the original problem (which is an httpd problem). Concerning the add-console-password problem: It sounds weird to me, too. For others: In my case the console device was there, it just did not have any ID or address: devices={device:console,type:console} Regards Daniel
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.
