  1. PVCs must request a ReadWriteMany access mode.

  2. Storage provider must support both Kubernetes and CSI snapshot APIs

You cannot live migrate virtual machines that use:

  • A storage class with ReadWriteOnce (RWO) access mode

  • Passthrough features such as SRI-OV and GPU

Do not set the evictionStrategy field to LiveMigrate for these virtual machines.
