Why the virtual machines are stuck in "starting" status even when the virt-launcher pod is running?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • The VM virt-launcher pod is in READY, Runningstatus although the VM is stuck in starting status in the UI. The status of the VMI is Scheduled.
# oc get vmi -o wide |grep Scheduled

# oc get pod |grep mytestvm
dialog-hub-10  virt-launcher-mytestvm-bms6k                   1/1    Running  0         20h  10.131.1.70   worker-11
