Deploying the migrated virtual machine

Deploy a virtual machine in Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization by using the bootable volume that is created from the migrated z/VM disk.

1. Deploy the VM by using the OpenShift Virtualization web console.
   1. Navigate to Virtualization > VirtualMachines in the Red Hat OpenShift web console.
   2. Click Create VirtualMachine.
   3. Select From bootable volume.
   4. Choose the bootable volume (DataSource) created in the previous phase.
   5. Adjust the VM parameters as needed:
      • Name: Provide a name for the VM
      • CPU: Set the number of CPU cores
      • Memory: Set the amount of memory
      • Network: Configure network interfaces
   6. Click Create VirtualMachine.
   7. Start the VM by clicking Start.
2. Alternatively, deploy the VM by using the CLI.

   Create a YAML file for the VirtualMachine resource:

   apiVersion: kubevirt.io/v1
   kind: VirtualMachine
   metadata:
     name: vm_name
     namespace: namespace
   spec:
     running: true
     template:
       metadata:
         labels:
           kubevirt.io/vm: vm_name
       spec:
         domain:
           cpu:
             cores: cpu_cores
           devices:
             disks:
             - disk:
                 bus: virtio
               name: rootdisk
             interfaces:
             - name: default
               masquerade: {}
           resources:
             requests:
               memory: memory_size
         networks:
         - name: default
           pod: {}
         volumes:
         - name: rootdisk
           dataVolume:
             name: pvc_name

   Apply the YAML file by running the following command:

   oc apply -f vm_yaml_file

3. Verify that the VM is running by running the following command:

   oc get vm -n namespace

   Example output:

   NAME                  AGE   STATUS    READY
   migrated-zvm-guest    2m    Running   True

4. Access the VM console to verify successful boot.

   Using the web console:

   1. Navigate to the VM details page
   2. Click the Console tab
   3. Verify that the VM boots successfully and displays a login prompt

   Using virtctl:

   virtctl console vm_name -n namespace
