it's used to work afair, but now i see this:

[oVirt shell (connected)]# show vm iscsi_desktop | grep type
type                      : desktop
[oVirt shell (connected)]#
[oVirt shell (connected)]# update vm iscsi_desktop --type server

error:
status: 400
reason: Bad Request
detail: Failed updating the properties of the VM. This may be caused either by:
1. The values selected are not appropriate for the VM; or
2. Its values cannot be updated while the VM is in UP state (Please shut down the VM in order to modify properties such as CPU or cluster).
