6. If you added VMware source providers to MTV 2.2, upgrading to MTV 2.3 changes the state of any VMware providers to Critical. To fix this problem, edit the VMwhere provider by adding a VDDK init image and verifying the certificate of the VMware provider. For more information see Addding a VMSphere source provider.
7. If you mapped to NFS on the OpenShift Container Platform destination provider in MTV 2.2, upgrading to MTV 2.3 invalidates the NFS mapping. To fix this problem, edit the AccessModes and VolumeMode parameters in the NFS storage profile. For more information, see Customizing the storage profile.
