+## **[Dual-Stream RHCOS 9.8 + RHCOS 10.2 — IUO Scope] - Quality Engineering Plan**
+
+### **Metadata & Tracking**
+
+- **Feature Tracking:** [VIRTSTRAT-83](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/VIRTSTRAT-83)
+- **Epic Tracking:** [CNV-85268](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/CNV-85268)
+- **IUO Story:** [CNV-85504](https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/CNV-85504)
+- **Parent STP:** [stp.md](stp.md)
+- **QE Owner(s):** Ohad Revah (@OhadRevah)
+- **SIG:** sig-iuo (Install, Upgrade, Operators)
+
+### **Feature Overview**
+
+This STP covers the IUO-specific aspects of dual-stream RHCOS support: validating that
+OpenShift Virtualization deploys and functions correctly on RHCOS 10.2, diagnostic data collection works on RHCOS 10.2 nodes,
+node placement policies are honored in mixed-version clusters, observability metrics work
+as expected, and migration metrics are accurately reported during cross-version live migration.
+
+This STP covers testing for OCP 5.0. Automation is required for migration metrics validation on dual-stream clusters.
+
+---
+
+### **I. Motivation and Requirements Review (QE Review Guidelines)**
+
+#### **1. Requirement & User Story Review Checklist**
+
+- [x] **Review Requirements**
+  - *SIG-specific requirements:*
+    - OpenShift Virtualization components deploy and report ready on RHCOS 10.2 worker nodes
+    - Must-gather collects complete and valid data from RHCOS 10.2 nodes, with no gaps compared to RHCOS 9.8
+    - OpenShift Virtualization migration metrics (duration, data processed, bandwidth) are reported accurately during cross-version live migration
+    - Node placement policies are respected when scheduling and migrating VMs on dual-stream clusters
+
+- [x] **Acceptance Criteria**
+  - OpenShift Virtualization components deploy and report ready on RHCOS 10.2 worker nodes
+  - Must-gather collects complete and valid data from RHCOS 10.2 and dual-stream cluster nodes
+  - Migration metrics (duration, data processed, bandwidth) are reported accurately during cross-version live migration on dual-stream clusters
+  - Node placement policies are respected when scheduling and migrating VMs on dual-stream clusters
+
+- [x] **Testability**
+  - *Note any SIG-specific requirements that are unclear or untestable:* All requirements are testable
+    through existing IUO test suites and new migration metrics automation on RHCOS 10.2 and dual-stream clusters.
+
+- [x] **Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs)**
+  - *SIG-specific NFRs:*
+    - Monitoring: CNV metrics (including migration metrics) must report correctly on RHCOS 10.2 nodes
+  - *NFRs not covered and why:*
+    - Performance: N/A — no new IUO-specific performance requirements; covered by parent STP
+    - Security: N/A — no new auth or RBAC changes; FIPS requirement covered by parent STP
+    - Scalability: N/A — no new scale requirements for IUO components
+    - UI: N/A — dual-stream RHCOS support introduces no new user journeys or UI elements for IUO; existing console functionality is unchanged
+    - Documentation: N/A — no IUO-specific documentation changes; release notes covered by parent STP
+
+#### **2. Known Limitations**
+
+None — reviewed and confirmed that no IUO-specific feature limitations apply for this release.
+
+#### **3. Technology and Design Review**
+
+- [x] **Developer Handoff/QE Kickoff**
+  - *Key takeaways and concerns:* CNV operators run the same el9.8 userland on both RHCOS 9.8 and
+    RHCOS 10.2 kernels. No operator code changes are expected, but kernel differences could surface
+    unexpected behavior in must-gather log collection or metrics.
+
+- [x] **Technology Challenges**
+  - *List identified challenges:*
+    - Must-gather may encounter differences in log paths or system service names between RHCOS 9.8
+      and RHCOS 10.2 nodes, potentially causing incomplete data collection.
+  - *Impact on testing approach:* Must-gather output must be compared between RHCOS 9.8 and
+    RHCOS 10.2 to identify any gaps.
+
+- [x] **API Extensions**
+  - *List new or modified user-facing APIs:* N/A — see parent STP
+  - *Testing impact:* N/A
+
+- [x] **Test Environment Needs**
+  - *See environment requirements in Section II.3 and testing tools in Section II.3.1*
+
+- [x] **Topology Considerations**
+  - *Describe topology requirements:* Same as parent STP. Dual-stream cluster required for
+    migration and node placement scenarios; RHCOS 10.2-only cluster required for IUO regression.
+  - *Impact on test design:* Node placement tests require labeling nodes by RHCOS version
+    and using node affinity to control VM scheduling and migration targets.
+
+### **II. Software Test Plan (STP)**
+

+
+#### **3. Test Environment**
+
+Covered by the parent STP. IUO-specific requirements:
+
+- **Cluster Topology:**
+  - RHCOS 10.2-only cluster: for IUO Tier 1/2 regression
+  - Dual-stream cluster (RHCOS 9.8 + RHCOS 10.2 workers): for migration metrics,
+    node placement, and must-gather dual-node scenarios
+
+- **OCP & OpenShift Virtualization Version(s):** OCP 5.0 with CNV 5.0
+
+- **Storage:** ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd-virtualization
+
+- **Platform:** Bare metal
+
+- **Special Configurations:** None — RHCOS 9.8 worker nodes are identified by the `worker-rhcos9`
+  node role label, applied automatically during cluster provisioning.
+
+#### **3.1. Testing Tools & Frameworks**
+
+- **Test Framework:** Standard. Tests require logic to identify nodes by RHCOS version
+  for node placement and migration validation.
+
+- **CI/CD:** Dedicated CI lanes for RHCOS 10.2 and dual-stream clusters:
+  - RHCOS 10.2: IUO testing and observability lanes
+  - Dual-stream: IUO testing and observability lanes
+
+- **Other Tools:** N/A
+
+#### **4. Entry Criteria**
+
+Covered by the parent STP. IUO-specific entry criteria:
+
+- [x] Requirements and design documents are **approved and merged**
+- [x] RHCOS 10.2-only cluster available with IUO CI lanes provisioned
+- [x] Dual-stream cluster available via QE DevOps tooling (required for migration/node-placement scenarios)
+
+#### **5. Risks**
+
+No IUO-specific risks identified. Feature-wide risks are covered by the parent STP.
+

+
+### **III. Test Scenarios & Traceability**
+
+IUO coverage for dual-stream RHCOS is primarily provided through regression testing
+(existing Tier 1/2 suites on RHCOS 10.2 clusters). The following new test scenarios
+are required for migration metrics validation on dual-stream clusters:
+
+- **[CNV-85504]** — As a VM operator, I want migration metrics to be reported accurately when migrating from an RHCOS 9.8 node to an RHCOS 10.2 node.
+  - *Test Scenario:* [Tier 2] Live migrate a VM from an RHCOS 9.8 node to an RHCOS 10.2 node and verify that migration metrics (duration, data processed, bandwidth) are reported correctly.
+  - *Priority:* P1
