When migrating a VM from VMware to OCP, VM names that contain special characters like a plus sign (+) or spaces ( ) are not preserved correctly. During the migration process, these characters are removed, and the resulting VM name becomes a concatenated string without separators.
Example:


Original VM name in VMware: namemtv+func rhel8 Ameen


Resulting VM name in CNV: mtvfuncrhel8Ameen

OCP: 4.19
CNV: 4.19.1
MTV: 2.9.0 - forklift-fbc-prod-v419:on-pr-0a284bcac660e2515fe8d0f7e5fd3894438e96c3

Always 

1. Create VM in VMware vCenter with the name namemtv+func+rhel8+Ameen
2. Start migration

VM name - inventory: namemtv func rhel8 Ameen
VM name during migration - Plan YAML: newName: mtvfuncrhel8ameen
VM name - CNV: mtvfuncrhel8ameen

VM name - inventory: namemtv-func-rhel8-Ameen
VM name during migration - Plan YAML: newName: mtv-func-rhel8-ameen
VM name - CNV: mtv-func-rhel8-ameen
