    There are 3 kinds of issue I encountered:

    1. the rcons will hung in the middle of provisioning.
      The issue had been fixed with adding 'console=hvc0' for kernel parameter
    2. rcons output "remote detached from xxxxx.serial-<vm_name>-cons"
      The reason for this issue is there are more than one MN connected to the VM at the same time which cause the conserver service on those MN grab the tty console of the VM. Pls make sure there is only one console sever connect the VM when running rcons.</vm_name>
    3. rpower off and then on won't output anything, but rpower reset will.
      You can use ctrl+e c o to update the console to see the consoles.

    Pls let me know if you encountered any other kinds of issue for console.

    I don't think we should reject this bug, no matter what caused this problem , the console can not work when the user follows the steps in the documentation. If this is a usage error, please write down the limitation on the doc, if this cannot be fixed, add a known issue in the release notes and provide a workaround clear enough in this bug
