      When attempting to troubleshoot Openshift Virtualization (CNV) VM issues, associates generally have to request this information separately.  The command line to gather CNV information can also be difficult for customers to run, ie:

      oc adm must-gather \
       --image=registry.redhat.io/container-native-virtualization/cnv-must-gather-rhel9:v4.15.2 \  
       -- /usr/bin/gather

      The associate generally needs to figure out what the latest cnv-must-gather is, otherwise the current installed cluster version is used, which may not always be the latest.

      It would be better to instruct customers to run something like

      oc adm must-gather --cnv

      Where this calculates the latest (and correct) image to use.

      Additional information:

      It would also be great:

       - to have separate switches for mtv and nmstate (will log separate jiras)

       - if --cnv also grabbed sosreports from a specific compute node (specify a VM and the host is calculated, or just specify a host)

       - if --cnv also captured relevant logs from the pod running the VM (ie, libvirt logs)

       - if something like '--virt' captured all the CNV related information (cnv, mtv, nmstate), so customer could just run "oc adm must-gather --virt"
