Sorry, but I don't understand what's the new VM portal purpose then... I 
mean, you can create a VM but you can't modify the console type, nor add 
disks, nor add NIC interfaces?

If that's how the new VM portal works, we can't upgrade our oVirt 
infrastructure because as I said, we extensively use the VM portal and 
users need to create their VMs and fully customize them.

Regards.
