docs(kubevirt-datamover): fix HCO featureGates patch, CR name typo, and log-capture accuracy - #2418
Conversation
…nd log-capture accuracy
- configuration.md: fix the incrementalBackup feature gate patch command.
spec.featureGates on the HyperConverged CR is a list of gate objects,
not a map keyed by name, so the previous YAML-map form
(featureGates: {incrementalBackup: true}) is rejected by the
mutating webhook. Use the array form instead.
- configuration.md: fix a typo in the verify command
(kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged -> kubevirt-hyperconverged).
- troubleshooting.md: correct the documented pod-log tail cap from 200
to 100 lines to match cmd/main.go's NewPodLogCollector(..., 100)
call in kubevirt-datamover-controller, and clarify that log capture
is best-effort (a collection failure is only logged, not retried,
and does not block pod cleanup) rather than guaranteed.
WalkthroughThe documentation updates correct the HCO feature gate patch format and KubeVirt resource name. They also document 100-line log limits, best-effort collection, warning-only failures, and failed pod retention. ChangesKubeVirt data mover documentation

KubeVirt HyperConverged kubevirt-hyperconverged generated KubeVirt CR name openshift-cnv
💡 Result:
The mandatory name for the HyperConverged custom resource (CR) is kubevirt-hyperconverged [1][2][3]. This resource must be created in the openshift-cnv namespace to manage the OpenShift Virtualization stack [1][4][5]. Because the operator relies on this specific name to function and reconcile the cluster state, it is standard practice and often required to ensure the CR is named kubevirt-hyperconverged to avoid deployment or configuration errors [1][3]. The HyperConverged CR serves as the single entry point for managing the entire OpenShift Virtualization stack, including the KubeVirt, Containerized Data Importer (CDI), Scheduling, Scale, and Performance (SSP), and Network Addons operators [4][5].

💡 Result:
The term kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged generally refers to components associated with the HyperConverged Cluster Operator (HCO) for KubeVirt [1][2]. The HyperConverged Cluster Operator (HCO) is a unified operator designed to deploy and manage KubeVirt along with several critical adjacent operators in an opinionated manner [1][3]. By using HCO, users can obtain a cohesive, pre-configured environment without needing to manage each component individually [1][3]. Key components managed by the HCO include: - KubeVirt: The core virtualization engine [1][2]. - Containerized Data Importer (CDI): Manages the importing and cloning of virtual machine images [1][2]. - Scheduling, Scale and Performance (SSP) Operator: Manages resources for performance and scaling [1][2]. - Cluster Network Addons Operator: Manages network configuration [1][2]. - Node Maintenance Operator: Handles node maintenance tasks [1][2]. - VM Import and Tekton Tasks Operator (TTO) [1][2]. The HCO uses a single Custom Resource (CR) instance, typically named kubevirt-hyperconverged, which serves as the source of truth for the entire cluster configuration [3]. Users interact with this CR to modify the configuration of the KubeVirt cluster, and the operator ensures these values are propagated to the underlying operand CRs [3]. It is generally recommended that users do not modify the operand CRs directly, as the HCO reconciles them to maintain the intended state [3]. Installation is typically handled via the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), though it can also be deployed using kustomize on platforms like OpenShift/OKD [2][4][5]. The operator usually operates within the kubevirt-hyperconverged namespace [2][5].

KubeVirt HCO generated KubeVirt CR metadata.name kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged source
💡 Result:
The HyperConverged Cluster Operator (HCO) uses the fixed name kubevirt-hyperconverged for its primary custom resource (CR) of kind HyperConverged [1][2]. The operator specifically looks for and reconciles the HyperConverged resource with this exact name [3]. Any modification to the KubeVirt cluster configuration should be performed by editing this single instance of the HyperConverged CR [1][4]. While the CR itself is named kubevirt-hyperconverged, the component name often referenced in monitoring labels (such as alert alerts for unexpected modification of KubeVirt components) is kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged [1][4]. The operator manages the underlying KubeVirt, CDI, and other operand configurations as an opinionated source of truth, and users should avoid modifying those operand CRs directly [1][5].

💡 Result:
The term kubevirt-kubevirt typically refers to the primary open-source GitHub repository located at https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt [1][2]. KubeVirt is a virtual machine management add-on for Kubernetes [1][2]. It extends the Kubernetes API by adding additional resource types—such as the VirtualMachine (VM) and VirtualMachineInstance (VMI)—via Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) [1][3]. This allows users to manage virtual machines natively within a Kubernetes cluster alongside standard containerized workloads [1][3]. Key aspects of KubeVirt include: - Functionality: It enables the declarative definition, scheduling, launching, stopping, and deletion of virtual machines [1][2]. - Architecture: It uses standard Kubernetes components, including controllers and agents (like virt-handler), to manage the lifecycle of VMs [1][4][3]. - Ecosystem: While the kubevirt/kubevirt repository contains the core runtime and API, the KubeVirt ecosystem also includes related projects such as the Hyperconverged Cluster Operator (HCO), which is found in the separate kubevirt/hyperconverged-cluster-operator repository [5][1]. The HCO acts as a "meta-operator" that bundles and manages KubeVirt along with other integrated operators like the Containerized Data Importer (CDI) and cluster network addons to provide an opinionated, unified virtualization platform [5][6][7].

"oc get kubevirt kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged"
💡 Result:
The command oc get kubevirt kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged is used to retrieve the KubeVirt custom resource (CR) in an OpenShift or OKD cluster where OpenShift Virtualization is installed [1][2][3]. Here is a breakdown of what this command components represent: - oc get: The OpenShift CLI command to list or retrieve resources [4][5]. - kubevirt: This is the resource type (Custom Resource Definition) that manages the core virtualization lifecycle, including the API layer (virt-api), the controller (virt-controller), and the node-level agents (virt-handler) [2][6]. - kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged: This is the specific name of the KubeVirt CR instance [2][3]. In an OpenShift Virtualization deployment, the HyperConverged operator (HCO) automatically creates this instance when the operator is installed and the HyperConverged CR is initialized [1][2][6]. It is important to note that the HyperConverged CR (typically named kubevirt-hyperconverged in the openshift-cnv or kubevirt-hyperconverged namespace) serves as the primary, single source of truth for the entire OpenShift Virtualization stack [7][1][6]. While the KubeVirt CR mentioned in your command is a critical component, administrators usually interact with the HyperConverged CR to configure the system, as the HCO uses the HyperConverged CR to manage and reconcile all sub-operators, including the KubeVirt operator itself [7][2][3]. Depending on your installation, you may need to specify the namespace where the operator is installed (e.g., -n openshift-cnv or -n kubevirt-hyperconverged) if it is not in your current context [8][5][9].

HCO creates the KubeVirt CR as kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged; kubevirt-hyperconverged is the HyperConverged CR name. This command can return NotFound instead of verifying the configuration. Replace the resource name with kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged.

What
Follow-up correctness fixes to the KubeVirt DataMover user-facing docs added in #2398, found while reviewing feedback on the companion developer-docs PR (migtools/kubevirt-datamover-controller#192):
docs/kubevirt-datamover/configuration.md:incrementalBackupfeature gate patch command.spec.featureGateson theHyperConvergedCR is a list of gate objects, not a map keyed by name, so the previously documented YAML-map form (featureGates: {incrementalBackup: true}) is rejected by HCO's mutating webhook withunknown field "spec.featureGates.incrementalBackup". Switched to the correct array form, matching what actually works (reported independently against the companion PR by @PrasadJoshi12).kubevirt kubevirt-kubevirt-hyperconverged(doubled prefix) ->kubevirt kubevirt-hyperconverged.docs/kubevirt-datamover/troubleshooting.md:cmd/main.go'sNewPodLogCollector(kubeClient, 100)call inkubevirt-datamover-controller.Why
These are the same categories of inaccuracy (broken commands, incorrect numeric constants, and overstated guarantees) that were flagged and fixed in the developer-facing docs PR against
