Hey, This is noted in the documents: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html#Changing_the... I recommend if you can't cope with it (i.e: logging to console and reconfiguring the NICs/Disks) it to change the VM custom emulated machine to "pc-q35-rhel8.1.0", this is the default emulated machine when cluster compatibility level is set to 4.4. Also note, if you heavily rely on VNC, there's a bug introduced in libvirt 8 that won't allow to set password length longer than 8 chars, oVirt by default tries to set a password length of 12 chars but up until now libvirt simply ignored that and set the password based on the first 8 chars, i don't know from which version that happened but in 4.4.10 you won't be able to use VNC so i recommend to use SPICE (which is actually much better).

Hey, This only happens to Windows VMs mostly, when you update the cluster compatibility level it should alert you on VMs that might have this issues and let you know before you resume the upgrade.
