Issue seems to be on testapi.pm in os autoinst in select_console function:

    my $ret = query_isotovideo('backend_select_console', {testapi_console => $testapi_console});
    die $ret->{error} if $ret->{error};

    $autotest::selected_console = $testapi_console;
    if ($ret->{activated}) {
        # we need to store the activated consoles for rollback
        if ($autotest::last_milestone) {
            push(@{$autotest::last_milestone->{activated_consoles}}, $testapi_console);
        }
        $testapi::distri->activate_console($testapi_console, @args);
    }

When is select_console root-console called first time, result of isotovideo query contains activated and and activate_console is called.
Function activate_console is in distri lib/susedistribution.pm. I contains check for spvm backend(and others) and returns use_ssh_serial_console, which works as expected. Proper root-ssh console is selected.

 # Select configure serial and redirect to root-ssh instead
    return use_ssh_serial_console if (get_var('BACKEND', '') =~ /ikvm|ipmi|spvm/ && $console =~ m/root-console$|install-shell|log-console/);

When is select_console called second time, result of isotovideo query doesn't contain activated, there is no call to activate_console and test fails, as it expects standard console needle.

Did a quick idea to disable check in select_console and run activate_console all the time. It partially works on spvm http://10.100.12.105/tests/3684, but it definitely breaks something else.
