Description

Observation

openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP5-Migration-from-SLE15-SPx-ppc64le-ha_migration_online_pscc_sles15sp4@ppc64le-hmc-single-disk fails in
yast2_migration

Apparently automation fails to complete registration phase, very likely because we force to user ssh forwarding when running qt in remote worker, like in this case for PowerVM. Using ncurses should accelerate the process.
Of course the problem behind the scene are networking issues with PowerVM, but let's tackle this first.

Scope

All test suite using PowerVM in all Migration job groups.

Acceptance criteria

AC1: Research the reason why we shouldn't test qt, is it because our testing infrastructure?
AC2: Run always yast2_migration in PowerVM with ncurses instead of qt

Additional information

  • For instance we open sw_single in this way in yast2_i: my $module_name = y2_module_consoletest::yast2_console_exec(yast2_module => 'sw_single', yast2_opts => '--ncurses');
  • A better solution which would not require to add always this yast2_opts parameter is to ensure that the target desktop in the AutoYaST image used by this job is textmode, even if the default is gnome for PowerVM is a special case and we might need to edit this AutoYaST profile to force that.
