Description Ilanit Stein 2021-11-04 14:36:11 UTC
Description of problem:

On MTV-2.2 having the CDI importer pod retained fails the warm migration from VMware. 
This is due to a OCPv storage CDI bug 2016290-"[Warm] Warm Migration Fails and reporting ambiguous status"
As a temporary solution in MTV-2.2 till this mentioned bug is fixed,
Disable retaining these pods.
This will allow warm migration from VMware to work properly,
but on MTV-2.2 the "Get Logs" option will not be available. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

MTV-2.2

Comment 1 Sam Lucidi 2021-11-04 14:50:51 UTC
The virt-v2v pod is not involved, it's just the importers. This PR makes retaining the importers for warm migration an option which is off by default.

Please verify with mtv-operator-bundle-container-2.2.0-80 / iib:132252, or later.

Comment 3 Maayan Hadasi 2021-11-08 11:21:19 UTC
Verified as fixed.

Regarding Warm migration:
VMware RHEL VM with 2disks2nics was successfully migrated to CNV.
3 internal precopies were taken and only the virt-v2v conversion pod is available once the migration ended.

Regarding Cold migration (VMware) - the importer and virt-v2v pods are present after the migration ended.


Versions:
MTV 2.2.0-80 / iib:132252
CNV 4.9.1-11 / iib:131992
