[16.0] Delete VMPersistentState support for EFI bootloader#5344
Merged
Conversation
When a EFI bootloader is started with persist state, a PVC is created with RWX mode by kubevirt upstream code. In eve-k we did not support RWX volumes yet since they require nfs server deployed and working. So since RWX volumes are not in good state, kubevirt virt-launcher pod keeps crashing every few hours which bounces the VMs. Ideally virt-launcher should error out not segfault if volumes are not accessible, thats a kubevirt bug and I reported this issue to the community and they are working on it. Until that issue is fixed, disable the persist state. Signed-off-by: Pramodh Pallapothu <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit 7667b69)
