Note that changing hypervisor parameters without performing a restart might lead to a crash while performing a live migration.

The VM had a kvm_extra: -bios OVMF.fd in its configuration. That meant is used UEFI, not BIOS and hence the usual boot_order: network ganeti functionality wouldn't work as the boot order was stored in the UEFI "firmware" which ganeti doesn't have support for yet. The fix was
$ sudo gnt-instance modify -H kvm_extra=default rpki2001.codfw.wmnet
after which the VM could boot into network just fine.

How did the OVMF come about? Some snowflake setting from ealier tests or something we might run into again?
