Network interface renamed with "_bkp" suffix and connectivity lost after VM migration from VMware using MTV

Issue

• After migrating a Linux virtual machine from VMware to OpenShift Virtualization using MTV, the guest VM loses network connectivity and is unreachable.
• When accessing the console, the network interface is found to be renamed with a _bkp suffix (e.g., ens192_bkp instead of the original ens192).

• Inspecting the virt-v2v conversion logs for the migration pod reveals errors similar to the following:

  grep: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens192
  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens192_bkp: No such file or directory
  ...
  New udev rule:
  SUBSYSTEM=="net",ACTION=="add",ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",NAME="ens192_bkp"
