+
+### **Feature Overview**
+
+
+
+This feature enables ARM VM support in mixed-architecture (amd64/arm64) OpenShift Virtualization clusters. Architecture-specific golden image resources (`DataImportCron`, `DataSource`, `DataVolume`) are automatically managed per supported architecture, controlled by the `enableMultiArchBootImageImport` feature gate in HCO.
+For 4.22 the feature gate is disabled by default, moving to enabled-by-default not earlier than 4.23. This STP covers sig-iuo responsibilities while documenting cross-SIG testing ownership.
+
+---
+
+### **I. Motivation and Requirements Review (QE Review Guidelines)**
+
+This section documents the mandatory QE review process. The goal is to understand the feature's value,
+technology, and testability before formal test planning.
+
+#### **1. Requirement & User Story Review Checklist**
+
+
+
+| Check | Done | Details/Notes | Comments |
+|:---------------------------------------|:-----|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:---------------------------------|
+| **Review Requirements** | [x] | - VMs can be created on Multiarch cluster using openshift-virtualization API's(e.g instancetypes,templates,golden-images,etc..)
- VMs must only run,managed and migrate on/to nodes supporting their architecture (e.g., ARM VMs on ARM nodes)
- Multiarch Nodes labeled to differentiate supported architectures.
- ARM-compatible images can be imported and run
- Unified monitoring and logging across Multiarch VMs | |
+| **Understand Value** | [x] | - Allow users to run ARM-based VMs alongside x86-based VMs within the same OpenShift Virtualization cluster, enabling a true multiarch environment.
- Allow users to define custom golden images with multi-architecture support for easier import & VMs creation. | |
+| **Customer Use Cases** | [x] | - **Developers**: Test and validate apps across x86 and ARM without separate infrastructure
- **Admins**: Consolidate heterogeneous workloads on a single cluster
- **Enterprises/ISVs**: Reduce cost and complexity when adopting ARM for edge and efficiency | |
+| **Testability** | [X] | Everything is testable, despite upgrade to a version which this FG enabled by default. (currently disabled by default) | Should be done in 4.23 timeframe |
+| **Acceptance Criteria** | [x] | - HCO accurately reports node architectures
- VMs can be created and managed on Multiarch cluster using standard OpenShift Virtualization APIs.
- Golden images annotated and arch-specific related resources created only for supported architectures,named with arch suffix and ready to use
- Unsupported-only arch annotations result in fail status in HCO `dataImportCronTemplates` - CDI pulls new images according to the image's arch and pullMethod(pod/node).
- VMs are scheduled and migrated successfully. | |
+| **Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)** | [x] | - **Monitoring**: 3 new alerts and metrics
- **Regression**: All teams should run T1+T2 tests on Multiarch cluster
- **Upgrade**: VMs survive upgrade with correct architecture placement preserved
- **UI**: New boot sources and VMs creation pages(templates/instancetype)
- **Doc**: Drop the TP note from docs
| |

+### **II. Software Test Plan (STP)**
+
+This STP serves as the **overall roadmap for testing**, detailing the scope, approach, resources, and schedule.
+
+#### **1. Scope of Testing**
+
+
+
+**Testing Goals**
+
+
+
+
+
+
+**Functional Goals**:
+- **[P0]** Verify HCO monitors the cluster's nodes architectures correctly, and updated in addition/removal of nodes (sig-iuo).
+- **[P0]** Verify golden images are annotated only with supported architectures and related resources are created only for those, named with the architecture suffix (sig-iuo).
+- **[P1]** Verify golden images annotated only with unsupported architectures present fail status in HCO dataImportCronTemplates status (sig-iuo).
+- **[P0]** Verify arch-specific templates created with correct configurations ([sig-infra](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-76714)).
+- **[P0]** Verify VMs created from arch-specific templates run on matching architecture nodes (sig-infra).
+- **[P0]** Verify CDI imports correct architecture-specific images via `platform.architecture` ([sig-storage](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-76732)).
+- **[P0]** Verify Datasource new pointer API ([sig-storage](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-76732)).
+
+- **[P0]** Verify VMs scheduled only on nodes matching their CPU architecture ([sig-virt](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-26818)).
+- **[P0]** Verify VM migration between same-architecture nodes works correctly (sig-virt).
+
+**Monitoring Goals**:
+- **[P1]** Verify alert `HCOGoldenImageWithNoSupportedArchitecture` fires when DataImportCronTemplate annotated with unsupported architectures, and `kubevirt_hco_dataimportcrontemplate_with_supported_architectures` metric reports the appropriate value.
+- **[P1]** Verify alert `HCOMultiArchGoldenImagesDisabled` fires when running on a multi-arch cluster while Multiarch FG is disabled, and `kubevirt_hco_multi_arch_boot_images_enabled` metric reports the appropriate value.
+- **[P1]** Verify alert `HCOGoldenImageWithNoArchitectureAnnotation` fires when a custom golden image lacks an architecture annotation, and `kubevirt_hco_dataimportcrontemplate_with_architecture_annotation` metric reports the appropriate value.
+- **[P1]** Verify `HCOMultiArchGoldenImagesDisabled` alert does not fire when Multiarch FG is disabled but nodePlacement restricts to supported architectures only.
+
+**Backward Compatibility Goals**:
+- **[P0]** Verify Legacy Datasources points to default arch-annotated Datasources (sig-iuo).
+- **[P0]** Verify custom golden images without arch annotation remain functional (sig-iuo).
+- **[P0]** Verify legacy `DataSource` API backward-compatible with new CDI arch-specific naming (sig-storage).
+
+**Upgrade Goals**:
+- **[P0]** Verify ARM64 and AMD64 VMs are migrated to same-architecture nodes during upgrades and related resources are preserved (sig-iuo, sig-virt).
+- **[P0]** Verify functional tests pass post-upgrade to version when FG is enabled by default (all sigs).
+
+**Regression Goals**:
+
+all participating-sigs run regression on multiarch cluster
+
+- **[P0]** sig-iuo: Run Tier 1 and Tier 2 test suites on multiarch clusters with both CPU architectures.

+|:-------------------|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| **Test Framework** | MultiArch cluster |
+| **CI/CD** | Dedicated t2 jenkins jobs with multiarch markers:
- `test-pytest-cnv-4.22-iuo-multiarch`
- `test-pytest-cnv-4.22-observability-multiarch`
- `test-pytest-cnv-4.22-ssp-multiarch`
- `test-pytest-cnv-4.22-storage-multiarch`
- `test-pytest-cnv-4.22-virt-multiarch` |
+| **Other Tools** | |
+
+#### **4. Entry Criteria**
+
+The following conditions must be met before testing can begin:
+
+- [x] VEP [dic-on-heterogeneous-cluster](https://github.com/kubevirt/enhancements/tree/main/veps/sig-storage/dic-on-heterogeneous-cluster) is **approved and merged**
+- [x] Test environment (MultiArch cluster) can be **set up and configured**
+- [ ] Multi-CPU architecture support enabled in openshift-virtualization-tests repo
+- [ ] related sigs multiarch t2 jenkins jobs created
+
+#### **5. Risks**
+
+
+
+| Risk Category | Specific Risk for This Feature | Mitigation Strategy | Status |
+|:---------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:-------|
+| Timeline/Schedule | Israel in war currently, some sigs are impacted | N/A | [X] |
+| Test Coverage | Should be coordinated with all cnv-sigs | Review & sync with other sigs | [ ] |
+| Test Environment | N/A | N/A | [X] |
+| Untestable Aspects | N/A | N/A | [X] |
+| Resource Constraints | MultiArch cluster available only for 12 hours; limited number of AWS clusters available | Test automation on HA cluster first, final verification on MultiArch. Verify that DevOps are investigating increasing the number of available AWS clusters. | [ ] |
+| Dependencies | Allowing multi-cpu architecture on openshift-virtualization-tests | Review the [PR](https://github.com/RedHatQE/openshift-virtualization-tests/pull/3147) whenever its ready to review. | [ ] | | [ ] |
+| Non-blocker bugs | 1. [[UI] architecture is incorrect for fedora arm and inconsistent on UI for other os](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-68981)
2. [[Storage] Arch-specific DataSources (arm64) persist after removing arm64 nodes](https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CNV-68996) | Make sure they are fixed & verified | [ ] |
+
+#### **6. Known Limitations**
+
+
+
+- Existing VMs are not updated: VMs that are already running will not automatically use new architecture-specific resources. Users must recreate VMs to take advantage of new resources.
+- Platform variant format not supported: Formats like `linux/arm64/v8` are not supported at this time; this may be enhanced in future releases if needed.
+- Architecture validation not performed: The system does not validate custom golden image architectures. It is the user's responsibility to ensure correct configuration.
