[ops] [nova] How to change/remove a property from an instance ?

In my OpenStack Rocky cloud I have some instances that were created (before
updating to Rocky) using images with the property hypervisor_type='qemu'.
Since in my compute nodes [libvirt]/virt_type is "kvm", after having
updated to Rocky I had to change these images removing that property of
changing its value (qemu --> kvm): this is discussed in the thread:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-discuss/2019-July/thread.html#7842
Now I am not able to migrate anymore the instances that were created using
those images (ImagePropertiesFilter filters out all compute nodes) before
fixing the property.
As suggested by Matt I tried to play with the instance_system_metadata
table of the nova database.
I first tried to change the value of that property (qemu --> kvm) [*]
I also tried to remove the property [**] but the nova migrate keeps
failing. In the request I keep seeing that
Instance contains properties ImageMetaProps...img_hv_type='qemu'
What else needs to be modified?
Thanks, Massimo
