Thanks, that's what we thought as well. We went with adding the properties to the DB and will restart the images as we move forward.

    thats the only offically supported way to do this yes.

    the hack to avoid that is to insert the mising image properties into the db directly then hard reboot
    the guest if it does not change schduleing.

    the qemu guest agent does not.

    for other image properties you might need to cold/live migrate or shelve and unshleve to place it on a valid host
    after modifying the db.

    rebuild is the prefered approch in this case if the guest agent is requried.
