Description of problem: Provide functionality to Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): OCP 4.10 What is the nature and description of the request? Currently, OpenShift Virtualization does not provide a mechanism to export and import virtual machines disks between different clusters. Technically it is possible but it's a high time consuming task. The customer is very interested in having a mechanism provided by OpenShift Virtualization that allows to export and import virtual machines disks in a smooth way. Why do you need this? (List the business requirements here) The customer has several OpenShift clusters and need to be able to export and import VMs between them, smoothly and in a reasonable time. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here) It would be OK with something like this Epic [1] of CNV. Do you have any specific time-line dependencies? This is a very important feature for the customer and it would be OK if it can be included in minor versions of OCP 4.10. List any affected packages or components. Yes. You can rely on the Red Hat Customer Success team that is working in this account if you need collaboration with the tests. Would you be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented? Yes For each functional requirement listed in the previous question, can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented. Yes
Alexander, could you please link the PR?
Added links to the various export related PRs. Some of which landed in 4.12, and some of which will land in 4.13 or 4.14.
@alitke shouldn't this be ON_QA by now?
Verified on CNV 4.13 The feature is available since 4.12, but there are some enhancements in 4.13 and 4.14, the documentation will be updated shortly: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.12/virt/virtual_machines/virt-exporting-vms.html https://kubevirt.io/user-guide/operations/export_api/
