KVM allows the config to be updated when the feature cannot be done live.

The 'poweron' is the only time KVM reads the configuration files.
In our case, vdsm completely destroys the VM (virsh undefine) during poweroff and creates the VM (virsh define) during poweron.

When using 'reboot' the KVM process never stops - so from Virtualization perspective , the VM never stops and thus no reread of the config.

Thanks, I feel silly for not figuring that out but it looks like a full shutdown/power-off resolved it.  I was only doing reboots previously.

Have you tried to power off and then power on the VM ?

When a VM is renamed a warning in engine gui appears with an exclamation point stating "vm was started with a different name".  Is there a way to clear this warning?  The VM has been restarted a few times since but it doesn't go away. 

Thanks!
