You can migrate virtual machines from VMware vSphere or Red Hat Virtualization to OpenShift Virtualization with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV).

1.1. About cold and warm migration
MTV supports cold migration from Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) and warm migration from VMware vSphere and from RHV.
1.1.1. Cold migration
Cold migration is the default migration type. The source virtual machines are shut down while the data is copied.
1.1.2. Warm migration
Most of the data is copied during the precopy stage while the source virtual machines (VMs) are running.
Then the VMs are shut down and the remaining data is copied during the cutover stage.
Precopy stage
The VMs are not shut down during the precopy stage.
The VM disks are copied incrementally using changed block tracking (CBT) snapshots. The snapshots are created at one-hour intervals by default. You can change the snapshot interval by updating the forklift-controller deployment.
You must enable CBT for each source VM and each VM disk.
A VM can support up to 28 CBT snapshots. If the source VM has too many CBT snapshots and the Migration Controller service is not able to create a new snapshot, warm migration might fail. The Migration Controller service deletes each snapshot when the snapshot is no longer required.
The precopy stage runs until the cutover stage is started manually or is scheduled to start.
Cutover stage
The VMs are shut down during the cutover stage and the remaining data is migrated. Data stored in RAM is not migrated.
You can start the cutover stage manually by using the MTV console or you can schedule a cutover time in the Migration manifest.
