Getting started tour
Quick start tours
Migrating to OKD Virtualization
Additional resources

Explore OKD Virtualization by taking guided tours, installing the Operator, and configuring a basic environment. Learn how to migrate from your current platform, then learn more about how to deploy and manage virtual machines (VMs) by following the additional resources links.

Cluster configuration procedures require cluster-admin privileges.

Getting started tour

The Getting started tour introduces several key aspects of using OKD Virtualization. There are two ways to start the tour.

Prerequisites

You have access to the OKD web console.

Procedure

If you see the Welcome to OKD Virtualization dialog, click Start Tour.
Otherwise, go to Virtualization → Overview → Settings → User → Getting started resources → Guided tour.

Quick start tours

You can explore several OKD Virtualization capabilities by taking quick start tours in the web console.

Prerequisites

You have access to the OKD web console.

Procedure

Click the Help icon ? in the menu bar on the header of the OKD web console.
Select Quick Starts. You can filter the list of tours by entering the keyword virtual in the Filter field.

Migrating to OKD Virtualization

To migrate virtual machines from an external provider such as VMware vSphere, OpenStack, Red Hat Virtualization, or another OKD cluster, use the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV). You can also migrate Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) files created by VMware vSphere.

Migration Toolkit for Virtualization is not part of OKD Virtualization and requires separate installation. For this reason, all links in this procedure lead outside of OKD Virtualization documentation.

Prerequisites

The Migration Toolkit for Virtualization Operator is installed.
