* *Warm migration* By default, all migrations are cold migrations. For a warm migration, click the *Edit* icon, and select *Warm migration*.
* *Preserving static IPs of VMs*: By default, virtual network interface controllers (vNICs) change during the migration process. As a result, vNICs that are configured with a static IP linked to the interface name in the guest VM lose their IP. To avoid this, click the *Edit* icon next to *Preserve static IPs* and toggle the *Whether to preserve the static IPs* switch in the window that opens. Then click *Save*.

{project-short} uses the following format for disk location: `/dev/sd<disk_identifier><disk_partition>`. For example, if the second disk is the root device and the operating system is on the disk's second partition, the format would be: `/dev/sdb2`. After you enter the boot device, click *Save*.

If the conversion fails because the boot device provided is incorrect, it is possible to get the correct information by checking the conversion pod logs.

* *Preserving the CPU model of VMs that are migrated from {rhv-short}*: Generally, the CPU model (type) for {rhv-short} VMs is set at the cluster level, but it can be set at the VM level, which is called a custom CPU model.
By default, {project-short} sets the CPU model on the destination cluster as follows:
** {project-short} preserves custom CPU settings for VMs that have them.
** For VMs without custom CPU settings, {project-short} does not set the CPU model. Instead, the CPU model is later set by {virt}.
