The console information isn't reported by default because it requires an
additional query to the database, which is expensive, and not useful in
general. You can enable these expensive items using the "all_content"
parameter:

  $ ovirt-shell "show vm name --all_content true"

The serial number properties are only present if there is one serial
number policy enabled.
