Install OpenShift Virtualization Operator

OpenShift Virtualization (CNV / KubeVirt) is the foundation for all VM tests. It provides the KubeVirt VM runtime, CDI (Containerized Data Importer for VM images), Multus integration, and the virtctl CLI. On SNO, single-node mode is used automatically — live migration is not available. Initial installation takes 5–10 minutes.

2Install: namespace openshift-cnv, channel stable

3After operator installation: create the HyperConverged CR (YAML from Commands/YAML tab). Be sure to disable live migration on an SNO cluster.

4Watch CNV pods: watch oc get pods -n openshift-cnv

5Wait until HyperConverged status: Available (~5–10 min)

6Download virtctl CLI (Commands/YAML tab)

7Verify: virtctl version
