Hi all, I am using XML-RPC API to change VM configuration, the action I use is one.vm.updateconf:

VM\_ID = 3001  
ONE\_AUTH = ‘{0}:{1}’.format(ONE\_USERNAME, ONE\_PASSWORD)  
XML\_TEMPLATE = 'RAW=[type=“kvm”,data="\<cpu match=\“exact\” mode=\“host-model\”\>"]'  
response = proxy.one.vm.updateconf( ONE\_AUTH, VM\_ID, XML\_TEMPLATE )

It can update the RAW section correctly. However, it also clears GRAPHICS section, so I lose the VNC configuration. Is it a bug or I do anything wrong?

**Versions of the related components and OS (frontend, hypervisors, VMs):**  
Opennebula 5.2.1

**Current results:**  
Update RAW config section and remove GRAPHICS section  
**Expected results:**  
Only update RAW config section

After instantiated VM from template, i see this (It`s OK and script working, when change between tariffs): I try to setup password for instantiated VM with custom USER_INPUTS, e.g. PASSWORD_BASE64 with API one.vm.updateconf, and change ONLY parameter PASSWORD_BASE64, but after VM starts parameter OS, FEATURES and GRAPHICS are deleted and parameter PASSWORD_BASE64 doesn`t change.
