SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the management of virtual machines on Kubernetes using KubeVirt tooling for efficient lifecycle control and troubleshooting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • VM lifecycle control: start, stop, restart, and pause/unpause VMs.
  • Live migration: migrate VMs between nodes with minimal downtime.
  • Status and inventory: check VM status and list VMIs and related resources across clusters.
  • Data volumes and VM configurations: manage data volumes and VM templates to support persistent storage and configuration.

Quick Start

Describe typical workflows in natural language or use the tool references:

  • Check KubeVirt installation: kubevirt_detect_tool()
  • List VMs in a namespace: kubevirt_vms_list_tool(namespace="default")
  • Start a VM: kubevirt_vm_start_tool(name="my-vm", namespace="default")
  • Migrate a VM: kubevirt_vm_migrate_tool(name="my-vm", namespace="default")

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage virtual machines on Kubernetes using KubeVirt?▼

You can manage KubeVirt VMs on Kubernetes by automating lifecycle control, live migration, and status checks. Use kubectl-mcp-server tools to start, stop, restart, and migrate VMs across clusters.

How do I live migrate a VM between Kubernetes nodes?▼

To live migrate a VM, use the kubevirt_vm_migrate_tool with the target VM name and namespace. This initiates KubeVirt live migration to move running virtual machines between nodes with minimal downtime.

What do I need to check before running KubeVirt operations on my cluster?▼

Before running KubeVirt operations, use the kubevirt_detect_tool to verify your KubeVirt installation. This checks the environment and confirms KubeVirt tooling availability for subsequent VM lifecycle and inventory commands.

Can I list VM inventories and check VM status across Kubernetes namespaces?▼

Yes, you can list VM inventories and check status across namespaces using kubevirt_vms_list_tool. It retrieves VMIs and related resources, allowing you to monitor VM configurations and data volumes across clusters.

Does this approach support managing data volumes and VM templates?▼

Yes, KubeVirt tooling supports managing data volumes and VM templates. This enables persistent storage configuration and standardized VM setups alongside core lifecycle controls like start and stop operations.
