[ovirt-users] engine upgrade 4.1.0 => 4.1.1, no more engine console available

[Evgenia Tokar]

It seems that the main issue here is that the graphics device is missing
from the engine db.
This causes the generated ovf to not contain a graphics device which in
turn makes the vm.conf not have it, and so the console is not available.

So what we need to understand now is what caused the graphics device to
disappear and a way to return it.

Did anything out of the regular update flow happened with the vm?


Thanks,
Jenny
