6.21 Cannot Connect to VM Console After Oracle VM Manager Reinstall With Same UUID

After reinstalling Oracle VM Manager with the same UUID, it is possible that connecting to a virtual machine via either the serial or VNC console results in a blank screen. This behavior is intermittent and may affect some systems and not others. To restore console functionality, a service must be restarted on the Oracle VM Server where the virtual machine is running.

If the Oracle VM Server is running on x86 hardware, the following command must be run as root on the Oracle VM Server affected: 

service ovm-consoled restart

If the Oracle VM Server is running on SPARC hardware, the following command must be run as root on the Oracle VM Server affected: 

svcadm restart ovmwatch
