+# VirtualMachineInstanceHasEphemeralHotplugVolume
+
+## Meaning
+
+The `VirtualMachineInstanceHasEphemeralHotplugVolume` alert is triggered when a
+Virtual Machine Instance (VMI) contains an Ephemeral Hotplug Volume, which is
+defined
+as a hotplug volume that only exists in the VMI and will not persist during VM
+restart
+
+## Impact
+
+The `HotplugVolumes` Feature Gate will be deprecated in a future release and
+will
+be replaced by the `DeclarativeHotplugVolumes` Feature Gate. The two are
+mutually
+exclusive, and when `DeclarativeHotplugVolumes` is enabled, any remaining
+ephemeral hotplug volumes will automatically be unplugged from any VMIs.
+
+If this alert is triggered, it is to inform of this future deprecation and to
+suggest steps to convert ephermeral volumes to persist ones.
+
+## Diagnosis
+
+To diagnose the cause of this alert, the following steps can be taken:
+
+1. Find each VM that contains an ephemeral hotplug volume.
+   This command will print out list entries in format [vm-name, namespace]
+    ``` bash
+    $ oc get vmis -A -o json | jq -r '.items[].metadata | select(.annotations |
+has("kubevirt.io/ephemeral-hotplug-volumes")) | [.name , .namespace] | @tsv'
+    ```
+2. For each VM listed, find the volumes that need to be patched.
+
+   ``` bash
+   $ oc get vmis <vm-name> -n <namespace> -o json | jq -r
+'.metadata.annotations."kubevirt.io/ephemeral-hotplug-volumes"'
+   ```
+
+## Mitigation
+
+To mitigate the impact of this alert, consider converting these ephemeral
+hotplug volumes to instead persist within the VM.
+
+To do so:
+``` bash
+$ virtctl addvolume <vm-name> --volume-name=<volume-name> --persist
+```
+
+If you cannot resolve the issue, log in to the
+[Customer Portal](https://access.redhat.com) and open a support case,
+attaching the artifacts gathered during the diagnosis procedure.
