# Harvester HCI

> VM lifecycle management, node operations, networking, snapshots, images, backups, and upgrades for Harvester clusters.

The Harvester page provides a dedicated management interface for [Harvester HCI](https://harvesterhci.io/) clusters. All seven tabs are **demo-only** — no Engine API calls are made.

<Warning>
  When the selected cluster is not a Harvester cluster, an info banner reading **"Not a Harvester cluster"** is displayed instead of the tabbed interface.
</Warning>

## Tabs

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="VMs">
    ### Virtual machine lifecycle

    Manage KubeVirt virtual machines with full lifecycle controls:

    * **Start / Stop / Pause / Resume**
    * **Live migrate** — move a running VM to another node
    * **Clone** — create a copy of an existing VM
    * **Snapshot** — capture point-in-time state
    * **Delete** — with confirmation dialog

    The VM table shows name, status, CPU/memory allocation, node placement, and IP address.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Nodes">
    ### Physical node management

    View physical nodes in the Harvester cluster with:

    * CPU and memory utilization
    * VM distribution per node
    * Storage capacity and usage
    * Storage migration controls for rebalancing
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Networks">
    ### VLAN network management

    Create and manage VLAN networks backed by NetworkAttachmentDefinitions (NADs). Configure:

    * VLAN ID
    * Bridge interface
    * IP pool ranges
    * Network connectivity status
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Snapshots">
    ### Point-in-time VM snapshots

    Browse and manage VM snapshots. Each snapshot records the VM's disk and memory state for rapid rollback or cloning.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Images">
    ### OS image management

    Upload and manage OS images used for VM provisioning. Supports:

    * ISO and qcow2 formats
    * URL-based import
    * Image status tracking (active, downloading, failed)
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Backups">
    ### S3-compatible backup targets

    Configure backup targets and manage VM backup schedules. Supports S3-compatible storage endpoints for off-cluster backup retention.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Upgrades">
    ### Version management

    View available Harvester versions and run preflight checks before upgrading. Preflight results highlight potential compatibility issues with current workloads and configurations.
