VM fleets (VMIRS)

Purpose

Manage VirtualMachineInstanceReplicaSet-style fleets — scale homogeneous VM groups as a unit.

When to use it

  • Stateless or similarly shaped VM pools
  • Scale replica count without editing each VM
  • Oversee fleet health in one place

How to get there

  • Route: /vmirs
  • Nav: Core → VM fleets

Operate from the console (UX)

  1. Open /vmirs from the sidebar, workspace switcher, or command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  2. Read the PageHead / deck line — confirm it matches: Manage VirtualMachineInstanceReplicaSet-style fleets — scale homogeneous VM groups as a unit.
  3. Use filters and search on the page; open a row for detail / inspector.
  4. Run the primary action (create, apply, run, export) from the PageHead or empty-state CTA.
  5. Confirm success via toast + refreshed inventory; check Incidents if the action fails.
  6. Empty / fail: No data → check auth, namespace filter, and that required operators (KubeVirt/CDI/monitoring) are installed; purpose was: Manage VirtualMachineInstanceReplicaSet-style fleets — scale homogeneous VM groups as a unit.
  7. Success: Live inventory or job progress matches the deck line; you can navigate to a related center without re-auth.
