  • [Virtualization] VMI does not exist, VM status stopped

    Posted on

    I make a trial case about virtualization in OCP Openshift 4.12. What I have done so far:
    1. Install Cluster Operator RedHat Virtualization until it was done (on default namespace openshift-cvn)
    2. I created VM using virtualization catalog, with boot disk refer to fedora URL qcow2. The setting for CD Room and Disk are Blank (Create PVC)
    3. After I clicked Create VM, it is just stopped without any error found
    4. I tried the "start" menu and got no response
    5. I tried using cli, oc get vms -o yaml and there was error:

    status:
    conditions:
    - lastProbeTime: "2024-10-08T06:34:02Z"
    lastTransitionTime: "2024-10-08T06:34:02Z"
    message: VMI does not exist
    reason: VMINotExists
    status: "False"
    type: Ready
    printableStatus: Stopped
    volumeSnapshotStatuses:
    - enabled: false
    name: rootdisk
    reason: PVC not found
    - enabled: false
    name: cloudinitdisk
    reason: Snapshot is not supported for this volumeSource type [cloudinitdisk]
    - enabled: false
    name: installation-cdrom
    reason: PVC not found

    Question, why the VM is not started? what is lacking in my instalation steps? I find that it lacks of discussion about Red hat Virtualization that uses kubevirt
