I did a migration with a VM with 2 disks. The OS disk, and an additional hotplugged disk. After the migration was done, I checked the datavolumes created on the target cluster, and the hotplugged disk didn't have an ownerRef set.

2.10

Always

1. Create a VM and add a persistent hotplugged disk to the VM.
2. Cross cluster live migrate the VM

The hotplugged disk on the target cluster does not have an owner reference

The hotplugged disk on the target cluster should have an owner reference to the newly created target VM.
