What were you trying to do that didn't work?

Migrating a VM from vSphere 6.5.0 to OpenShift using MTV 2.8.7 fails when the source datastore has characters like '+' in the name.

What is the impact of this issue to you?

Important. This is blocking migrations from VMware and renaming the datastore can have implications that need to be investigated.

Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

libvirt-libs-10.10.0-7.6.el9_6.x86_64

(also reproduces with all versions of libvirt in RHEL 10, Fedora and upstream)
 

How reproducible is this bug?:

Always

Steps to reproduce

1.  In vSphere, have a datastore with '+' in the name
2. Try to migrate with MTV a VM from that datastore

Expected results

VM migrated correctly.

Actual results
