Migrate or restore Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization VMs to a different cluster or namespace

You can migrate Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization (RHOV) virtual machines (VMs) to a different cluster or namespace. When you perform an RHOV VM restore, Commvault Cloud automatically recreates the VM and its associated volumes in the destination namespace or cluster.

   • During the restore, the VM is briefly powered on, regardless of the value of this setting. This brief powering on of the VM is a necessary part of the restore process and cannot be changed.

   • The power state of the VM does not affect subsequent backups.

2. To delete and overwrite existing data, enable the Unconditionally overwrite if it already exists toggle key.

3. To use resource modifiers to add, delete, and modify fields in the Kubernetes resource YAMLs that you restore, select or create a resource modifier.
