[MTV] If the migration pod fails, the migration plan continues to be in Running State.

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

  • Migration Toolkit Virtualization (MTV) version 2.6.6
  • OpenShift Virtualization 4.16.2

Issue

  • Virtual Machine migration from VMWware to Openshift Virtualization continues to run after the migration pod fails.
  • From the Openshift Virtualization -> Migration -> Plans for virtualization-> Select the Status of the Plan -> Expand the Virtual Machine name to see the pod in failed state.

Resolution

  • Current workaround is to Archive and Delete migration plan in question.
  • After the migration plan is deleted, the DataVolumes (DV) of the Archived and Deleted migration plan will also need to be deleted.
  • Please open a case with Red Hat support if further assistance is required.

Root Cause

  • The issue was reported and investigated in JIRA MTV-1478.

Diagnostic Steps

  • Checking the migration pod, the status is reported as Error.
oc get pods -n foo
