Description

Observation

https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/repos.sls#L62 does

/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:
  ini.options_present:
    - sections:
        main:
          solver.dupAllowVendorChange: true

but openqa-piworker:/home/okurz # grep -i vendor /etc/zypp/zypp* says

…
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf:solver.dupAllowVendorChange = false

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: all salt controlled generic machines, e.g. openqa-piworker, allow vendor change same as openQA workers
  • AC2: the change is supplied by salt
  • AC3: All OSD salt controlled machines are up-to-date

Suggestions

  • Convince yourself that "AllowVendorChange=true" is what we want for all machines. If not convinced yet then watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8kEaJU6hlw . If still not convinced then talk to okurz.
  • Carefully manually check every generic machine how the effect would be, e.g. with salt -C 'not G@roles:webui and not G@roles:worker' cmd.run 'zypper -n dup --dry-run --allow-vendor-change'
  • Move the change from openqa/repos.sls to a file that is applied on all machines
  • Ensure that all our salt controlled machines are up-to-date after the above change (if any), e.g. salt \* cmd.run 'zypper -n dup'

Is it related to the high disk usage on that machine?

Yes, likely. dheidler and me conducted a zypper dup which went fine but apparently at least during the upgrade process that took some more space. The upgrade concluded but the available+used space should be revisited.

we had data below the nfs-mount "/var/lib/openqa/share". I found them by bind-mounting / into a different directory like so: mount -o bind / /tmp/mnt/
In that directory I could free up ~6G and the alert is "Resolved" again.

salt -C 'not G@roles:webui and not G@roles:worker' cmd.run 'zypper -n dup --dry-run --allow-vendor-change' looks good; no package would actually change its vendor right now.

It seems to work:

I crosschecked once more with

salt --no-color \* cmd.run 'grep -i vendorchange /etc/zypp/zypp.conf'
salt --no-color \* cmd.run 'zypper -n dup --details --dry-run'

and the situation looks good now.
