+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2104479 +++

Description of problem:

[1] Created a new VM and is having below PVC:

rhel8-tory-koala Bound pvc-6bafb6a3-e418-4860-91b2-f80af872a11f 30Gi RWX ocs-external-storagecluster-ceph-rbd 24s

[2] Created a clone from this VM:

rhel8-tory-koala-clone-rhel8-tory-koala-1m97p Bound pvc-90e296b3-20ba-40d4-b0b7-5d9769ae2657 30Gi RWX ocs-external-storagecluster-ceph-rbd 4s

[3] Created a snapshot on the cloned VM:

[4] Deleted the VM and disk in [1].

[5] Tried to restore the snapshot. Restoration failed with the error below:

~~~
Error creating DataVolume restore-558e00db-857b-415d-8f37-bd7369194419-rhel8-tory-koala: admission webhook "datavolume-validate.cdi.kubevirt.io" denied the request: Source PVC default/rhel8-tory-koala not found
~~~

It is looking for PVC in [1] instead of PVC of the cloned VM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kubevirt-hyperconverged-operator.v4.10.2

How reproducible:
100 %

Steps to Reproduce:

Please refer above.

Actual results:

Cloned VM's snapshot restore fails if the source VM disk is deleted.

Expected results:

Snapshot restore should work.

Hi @nashok@redhat.com I will really appreciate the yamls of the original VM, and of the cloned VM. Also an explanation of the process of the VM clone that was done in this case. Thanks

Attaching the yamls of VMs.

The VM clone was done from the OpenShift console using "clone" option.

Looks like the issue is because the VirtualMachineSnapshotContent of cloned VM refers to the source VM PVC instead of cloned PVC.

The restore works if I manually edit this and changed it to cloned PVC.
