Cold-migrate multi-NIC VMs where each source network selects its own guest IP behavior via NetworkMap entry-level networkIPMode (forklift MTV-5674), driven by a new requirement-based network_map_overrides plan option (source_ip_config: dhcp/static/static-multiple — never hardcoded network names).

Windows (4 NICs): DHCP network to pod, single-static to a Multus network with dhcp mode, single-static to an ignored destination, multi-static to a Multus network with preserve mode.

Linux (4 NICs, one migration): DHCP network to pod, single-static to none, single-static to dhcp, multi-static to preserve. test_check_vms fails by design on MTV 5.0.0: the dhcp-mode interface keeps NM ipv4.method manual instead of auto (reported bug); left failing to track the fix.

  • New TestColdNetworkIpModeMigration (tests/cold/test_cold_network_ip_mode_migration.py) and TestColdNetworkIpModeLinuxMigration (tests/cold/test_cold_network_ip_mode_migration_linux.py), tier1/vsphere, 5-step pattern
  • New utilities/guest_ip_mode.py (verify_network_ip_modes): one verification flow for both OSes — the Linux ip -j parse is normalized to the ipconfig interface shape, and an is_windows flag selects the loader and dhcp semantics (ipconfig dhcp_enabled vs NetworkManager ipv4.method); dhcp mode asserts DHCP configuration with source statics gone, none mode asserts the interface exists with no IPv4 address; pod and ignored bindings are verified by check_network and preserve statics/DNS by check_static_ip_preservation
  • check_nic_name_preservation skips none-mode NICs (renamed on the destination); dhcp-mode NICs remain checked
  • _resolve_interface_guest_ip_mode raises on NICs without a map entry instead of silently treating them as preserve mode (the NetworkMap covers every plan VM network by construction)
  • Guest IP origins normalized to the vSphere vocabulary ("dhcp", not nmcli "auto"); per-NIC DNS collected from NM connection profiles through VMware guest operations
  • vmware: NIC gateway collection matches routes by subnet containment instead of device-ID offsets
  • Windows DNS check weakened to destination-subset-of-source (the guest reports a system-wide DNS union)

Validated live: Windows networkIPMode 5/5, warm and cold comprehensive (preserve paths) 5/5 each, rhel8 sanity with per-NIC DNS verification 5/5.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added per-network migration overrides for pod, Multus, or ignored destinations.
    • Added preserve, DHCP, and no-IP destination modes.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved migrated Windows and Linux networking validation, including DNS, gateways, addresses, and interface settings.
    • Improved VMware gateway detection by matching gateways to the correct IPv4 network.
    • Improved guest IP and DNS detection across supported operating systems.
  • Documentation
    • Documented network overrides and guest IP mode verification.

Cold-migrate multi-NIC VMs where each source network selects its own
guest IP behavior via NetworkMap entry-level networkIPMode (forklift
MTV-5674), driven by a new requirement-based network_map_overrides plan
option (source_ip_config: dhcp/static/static-multiple — never hardcoded
network names).

Windows (4 NICs): DHCP network to pod, single-static
to a Multus network with dhcp mode, single-static to an ignored
destination, multi-static to a Multus network with preserve mode.

Linux (4 NICs, one migration): DHCP network to pod,
single-static to none, single-static to dhcp, multi-static to preserve.
test_check_vms fails by design on MTV 5.0.0: the dhcp-mode interface
keeps NM ipv4.method manual instead of auto (reported bug); left
failing to track the fix.

- New TestColdNetworkIpModeMigration (tests/cold/test_cold_network_ip_mode_migration.py)
  and TestColdNetworkIpModeLinuxMigration (tests/cold/test_cold_network_ip_mode_migration_linux.py),
  tier1/vsphere, 5-step pattern
- New utilities/guest_ip_mode.py (verify_network_ip_modes): one
  verification flow for both OSes — the Linux ip -j parse is normalized
  to the ipconfig interface shape, and an is_windows flag selects the
  loader and dhcp semantics (ipconfig dhcp_enabled vs NetworkManager
  ipv4.method); dhcp mode asserts DHCP configuration with source
  statics gone, none mode asserts the interface exists with no IPv4
  address; pod and ignored bindings are verified by check_network and
  preserve statics/DNS by check_static_ip_preservation
- check_nic_name_preservation skips none-mode NICs (renamed on the
  destination); dhcp-mode NICs remain checked
- _resolve_interface_guest_ip_mode raises on NICs without a map entry
  instead of silently treating them as preserve mode (the NetworkMap
  covers every plan VM network by construction)
- Guest IP origins normalized to the vSphere vocabulary ("dhcp", not
  nmcli "auto"); per-NIC DNS collected from NM connection profiles
  through VMware guest operations
- vmware: NIC gateway collection matches routes by subnet containment
  instead of device-ID offsets
- Windows DNS check weakened to destination-subset-of-source (the
  guest reports a system-wide DNS union)

Validated live: Windows networkIPMode 5/5, warm and cold comprehensive

Walkthrough

The pull request adds requirement-based NetworkMap overrides, collects guest IP origin and DNS data, and validates per-network IP modes after Windows and Linux cold migrations. It also updates gateway matching and post-migration network checks.

Changes

Per-network guest IP mode migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Override requirements and guest network data
AGENTS.md, docs/test-plan-configuration.*, docs/llms-full.txt, utilities/utils.py, utilities/vmware_guest_operations.py, libs/providers/vmware.py
The configuration documents source IP requirements, destinations, and IP modes. Utilities resolve source networks from guest IP origins. VMware operations collect IP origin and DNS data. Gateway selection matches gateways to NIC subnets.
Override-based NetworkMap generation
utilities/utils.py, utilities/mtv_migration.py, conftest.py
Network-map generation validates overrides, creates destination entries, and passes overrides through migration setup. The Multus fixture counts NADs from Multus destinations when overrides are present.
Post-migration network validation
utilities/post_migration.py
Network checks capture DNS and gateway data, apply preserve-mode filtering, check ignored destinations, and skip NIC-name checks for none-mode networks.
Guest IP mode verification
utilities/guest_ip_mode.py
A new verifier checks destination mappings and guest interfaces for none and DHCP modes. Preserve-mode validation checks source DNS data.
Windows and Linux cold-migration coverage
tests/cold/test_cold_network_ip_mode_migration*.py, tests/tests_config/config.py, docs/python-module-reference.*, docs/llms-full.txt, docs/search-index.json
New cold-migration scenarios configure per-network overrides and validate network outcomes. Documentation references the verifier and updated configuration.
Regenerated documentation index
docs/search-index.json
The serialized search index contains regenerated documentation entries for the updated network and migration content.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 93b09

The current migration scenarios remain mergeable with bounded follow-up. Linux DNS checks can be misleading when VMware reports IP origins, and pod mappings with an explicit IP mode are not checked. A stale module-reference entry also needs correction.

Test per-network guest IP modes in Windows and Linux cold migrations

✨ Enhancement 🧪 Tests 🐞 Bug fix 📝 Documentation 🕐 40+ Minutes

AI Description

• Add requirement-based NetworkMap overrides so each source network selects its destination and
 guest IP mode.
• Test Windows and Linux multi-NIC cold migrations across DHCP, none, preserve, and ignored
 outcomes.
• Improve source network metadata and preservation checks; Linux DHCP verification tracks a known
 MTV 5.0.0 failure.

High-Level Assessment

Keep requirement-based matching and the shared OS-aware verifier. Automatic mapping cannot express entry-level IP modes, while hardcoded source network names would make these multi-NIC tests environment-dependent. The Linux DHCP assertion should remain visible as a known failing regression until the product fix.

Action required

1. Ignored static NICs fail verification ✗ Dismissed
Description
check_static_ip_preservation calls _is_pod_mapped_static_interface before checking whether a
static NIC's destination is ignored, and that path reads destination.name from an ignored entry
that has only a type. The new Windows configuration maps a single-static NIC to ignored, so the
VM check records a static-IP verification failure before it can verify the preserve-mode NIC.

●●● Strong

Concrete ignored-destination crash is a deterministic correctness bug in the new static-interface
exclusion path.

PR-#654

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The new Windows override selects a static NIC for an ignored destination. Entry construction omits
name; the exclusion evaluates the pod check first, and its destination lookup accesses that
missing field.

2. New Linux tier1 test is meant to fail ✗ Dismissed
Description
TestColdNetworkIpModeLinuxMigration is marked tier1 with no xfail or known-bug marker, but the
PR description says test_check_vms fails by design on MTV 5.0.0 (dhcp-mode keeps ipv4.method
manual). Every tier1 run will show this as a real failure. And because check_vms runs before
verify_network_ip_modes in the same test, the none-mode and dhcp-mode guest checks may never run
until the product bug is fixed.

3. Dynamic values lack type-safety rationale ✗ Dismissed
Description
The new guest IP verification helpers annotate their inputs and intermediate values with Any
without explaining why a narrower type cannot be used. This affects map entries, NIC dictionaries,
guest data, and provider-derived structures throughout the new utility, so later changes cannot
distinguish intentional dynamic boundaries from missing type definitions.

4. Missing mappings silently use legacy behavior ✗ Dismissed
Description
The multus_network_name fixture reads class_plan_config.get("network_map_overrides") and falls
back to automatic network discovery when the key is absent. Because this new plan setting is not one
of the approved optional feature flags, an omitted or misspelled mapping configuration reaches NAD
creation without failing fast and can produce the wrong network map.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The checklist permits .get() defaults only for its explicitly listed optional feature flags or
aggregate missing-key validation. network_map_overrides is a newly added mapping configuration,

before using it.

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

_resolve_nic_gateway_from_routes returns a gateway only when its address falls inside one of the
NIC's configured subnets, replacing the prior route-device match. For a valid on-link default route
outside the NIC's address prefix, such as a host-addressed interface, source collection records no
gateway and the later preservation check skips it.

6. Static IP check lacks section markers ✗ Dismissed
Description
check_static_ip_preservation remains a roughly 140-line function with only a few section comments

7. Losing every DNS server still passes the check ✓ Resolved
Description
_verify_dns_servers checks only whether destination DNS servers are absent from the source list,
so a missing or empty destination list produces no unknown entries and passes. If migration drops
every DNS server from a preserve-mode interface, both guest parser outputs can reach this check
without triggering a failure, despite the source-DNS prerequisite in verify_preserve_mode_dns_data
and the per-NIC DNS now available on Linux.
Code

utilities/post_migration.py[R596-601]

+    actual_dns_servers = matching_interface.get("dns_servers", [])
+    unknown = [dns_server for dns_server in actual_dns_servers if dns_server not in expected_dns_servers]
+    assert not unknown, (
+        f"DNS servers not preserved for interface {interface_name}: source VM DNS set "
+        f"{expected_dns_servers}, got {actual_dns_servers}"
+    )
Relevance

●● Moderate

The empty-destination case is a concrete correctness gap, but no closely matching DNS-validation
precedent was found.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The verifier defaults missing destination DNS to an empty list and derives unknown only from
destination servers, making the assertion pass when that list is empty. The Windows parser omits
empty DNS while the Linux parser emits an empty list, so both cases reach that path;
verify_preserve_mode_dns_data requires source DNS but imposes no corresponding lower bound on
destination DNS.

## Issue description
`_verify_dns_servers` accepts an empty or missing destination DNS list even when the source interface has configured DNS servers, allowing lost DNS to pass preservation checks.

## Fix Focus Areas
- utilities/post_migration.py[575-602]
- utilities/post_migration.py[854-861]

## Recommended Fix
When `expected_dns_servers` is non-empty, assert that `actual_dns_servers` is non-empty. Pass `is_windows` into the helper to select the comparison: on Linux, where DNS is collected per NIC from NM profiles, assert `set(actual_dns_servers) == set(expected_dns_servers)`; on Windows, retain the subset check because VMware Tools reports a system-wide DNS union.

9. NICs sharing a subnet get each other's gateway ✗ Dismissed
Description
_resolve_nic_gateway_from_routes assigns a NIC the first default-route gateway inside its subnet
without checking which device owns the route. When two NICs share a subnet but only one has a
default route, the source snapshot can assign that gateway to both NICs, causing _verify_gateway
to expect it on the wrong destination interface during check_static_ip_preservation.
Code

Potential multi-NIC correctness bug is plausible, but no closely matching gateway-ownership

Evidence
The helper runs separately for each NIC but searches the same VM routing table using subnet
containment alone, then copies the selected gateway into that NIC’s IP configurations. Same-network
multi-NIC configurations exist in test_cold_dual_nic_same_network_migration and
per_nic_network_map, and _verify_gateway compares a reported source gateway against the
destination interface’s gateway.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

MEDIUM: Do not skip mode-bearing pod entries.

The configuration contract allows network_ip_mode on pod destinations. The cold scenarios pass the resolved NetworkMap to verify_network_ip_modes. This branch skips every pod entry before checking networkIPMode.

check_static_ip_preservation() excludes pod-mapped and non-preserve interfaces, while check_network() checks only destination attachment. A valid pod plus dhcp or Linux none override can therefore reach migration without any guest IP-mode assertion.

@qodo-code-review — consolidated summary of the decisions on the findings raised in your review of this PR. Detailed replies live in the resolved inline threads; this comment is for human reviewers' orientation.

Fixed (1)

  • Losing every DNS server still passes the check — _verify_dns_servers now fails when a preserve-mode interface reports no DNS servers while the source had them, and compares the sets exactly on Linux (per-NIC NetworkManager data); the subset check is kept for Windows, where VMware Tools reports a system-wide DNS union. (4b167bb)

Intentionally not changed (8)

Finding Reason
Two cold tests repeat migration steps Per-class step pattern is the repo-wide convention (AGENTS.md "Step patterns"); each class carries its own schema-conforming test-plan docstring
Static IP check lacks section markers Phases are already sectioned: retry loop in the nested verify_all_static_ips helper, per-check _verify_* helpers, section comments between phases
Dynamic values lack type-safety rationale dict[str, Any] for external provider data is the sanctioned repo pattern (AGENTS.md "Consistent variable types"); _map_item_for_nic's Any is the dynamic-client spec.map object
Missing mappings silently use legacy behavior network_map_overrides is an optional plan option; .get() with the automatic-mapping path as default is the documented optional-flag pattern (same as per_nic_network_map), used by 2 of ~40 configs
Ignored static NICs fail verification Not reproducible: _resolve_interface_guest_ip_mode returns "none" for ignored destinations, so such NICs are excluded before the pod lookup; validated live (Windows test passed 5/5 on two providers with a static NIC mapped to ignored)
On-link gateways disappear from snapshots Deliberate documented tradeoff: VMware Tools' route-device attribution was observed mis-assigning gateways between NICs, which subnet containment fixes — a device-based fallback would reintroduce that mis-attribution
NICs sharing a subnet get each other's gateway Same rationale as above; the guests under test never share a subnet across NICs
New Linux tier1 test is meant to fail Intentional: tracks the MTV 5.0.0 dhcp-mode bug (NM ipv4.method stays manual) as a real failure until the product fixes it — xfail would hide the signal; the none-mode checks run before the dhcp assertion in override order

PR-summary-only findings (never anchored to inline threads)

  • Static checks branch on guest mode — the is_windows branches distinguish OS data sources (system-wide DNS from VMware Tools on Windows vs per-NIC NetworkManager data on Linux), not feature-specific logic.
  • Generated documentation drifts from source ownership — committing the generated docs site is this repo's documented convention (pi-docsite regeneration workflow in AGENTS.md).
  • Shared mapper gains a feature-only option — resolve_network_map_overrides sits in utilities/utils.py beside the automatic network-map generation it overrides; consistent placement.

@qodo Please dismiss the finding "Static checks branch on guest mode" as intentional: the is_windows branches in the verification helpers distinguish the guest OS data sources (system-wide DNS union reported by VMware Tools on Windows guests vs per-NIC NetworkManager data on Linux guests) — they are an OS distinction, not feature-specific logic.

Dismissed finding 10, Static checks branch on guest mode, as intentional. The is_windows branches reflect OS-specific DNS data sources rather than feature-specific guest IP mode logic.

@qodo Please dismiss two findings as intentional:

  1. "Generated documentation drifts from source ownership" — committing the generated docs site alongside its Markdown sources is this repository's documented convention (pi-docsite regeneration workflow in AGENTS.md); the generated output is always rebuilt and committed together with source changes.

  2. "Shared mapper gains a feature-only option" — resolve_network_map_overrides sits in utilities/utils.py directly beside the automatic network-map generation logic it overrides; the placement is consistent with its sibling functions.
