closed[Epic] Use Online and Full Medium for Maintenance Updates in SLE-15
100%
Description
Motivation¶
It was thought that the use of Full medium in Maintenance Updates job groups might save some I/O bandwidth when using the local DVD instead of individual RPM downloaded from repos on OSD, but in reality after registration, everything is taken from online sources and not the DVD itself.
We should keep the Full medium to still test the case where we skip registration and register the system afterwards, or even have the corner case where we use the full medium and register the system (existing one).
We should provide Online medium for Maintenance Updates as this would save storage and because it is the standard medium to be tested when registering the system.
Example where we use Full medium: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/overview?distri=sle&version=15-SP4&build=20221005-1&groupid=421
Scope¶
SLE-15-SPN
Acceptance criteria¶
AC1: Change FLAVOR name from 'Server-DVD-Updates' to 'Full'
AC2: Introduce new FLAVOR 'Online'
AC3: Existing test suite using Full medium will be using Online medium (not expected any action)
AC4: Add test suites for system installed unregistered with post-registration using Full medium
