Hey,

vdsm.conf shouldn't wiped out and shouldn't changed at all during 
upgrade. other related conf files (such as libvirtd.conf) might be 
overrided to keep defaults configurations for vdsm. but vdsm.conf should 
persist with user's modification. from my check, regular yum upgrade 
doesn't touch vdsm.conf

Douglas can you verify that with node upgrade? might be specific to that 
flow..

Trey, can file a bugzilla on that and describe your steps there?

Thanks
