| Also deploy [KubeVirt](https://github.com/kubevirt/kubevirt/) and the Containerized Data Importer [CDI](https://github.com/kubevirt/containerized-data-importer/?tab=readme-ov-file#deploy-it) according to the documentation provided there. This will add the appropriate Custom Resource Definitions (CRD) used by mig-controller to manipulate the Virtual Machines. | ||

| **_NOTE:_** If the mig-controller pod was started before KubeVirt and CDI was installed, the mig-controller will not automatically see the CRDs were installed. You have to (re)start the mig-controller pod after installing KubeVirt and CDI. |

Can we make this automatic by adding a watch in the mig controller for the kubevirt resources?

We can, but it is not a trivial change. Have to watch CRDs. We did something similar in CDI for snapshot CRDs and it was a pain to get right.

| | Copy | Yes | Create new PV in *same namespace*. Copy data from source PV to target PV, and modify Virtual Machine definition to point to the new PV. If liveMigrate flag is set, the VM will live migrate. If not set, the VM is shutdown, the source PV contents are copied to the target PV and the VM is started again | |

No, it should be PVs in this context. The UI refers to these as PVs everywhere so I wanted to be consistent with that in the documentation.
