yeah, that’s not a good idea to mix more issues:)
Seems https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1528868#c26 is the last one relevant to the grayed out console problem in this email thread.

it’s also possible to check "VM Devices” subtab and list the graphical devices. If this is the same problem as from Nicolas then it would list cirrus and it would be great if you can confirm the conditionas are similar (i.e. originally a 3.6 VM)
And then - if possible - describe some history of what happened. When was the VM created, when was cluster updated, when the system was upgraded and to what versions.

Thanks,

> Red Hat was never really able to figure out why, and I think they pretty much just dropped the issue because it seemed like it only happened for me.  In order to resolve it, I had to delete the VMs (not the disk of course), and recreate them, and then I got the console option back.
