I expect the worker is moved to the new lab location and needs be connected to the network yet, see #119551

Can this work be done soon ? It light of PublicBeta is approaching, I am considering disable affected workers. Some of them are active in workerconf.sls.

So do you think I need to do this right now or wait for your further feedback ?

Additionally, I expect all machines will keep their current domain name.

I created a merge request https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/merge_requests/487

https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/merge_requests/487 was merged meanwhile. After that we enabled fozzie again with https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/merge_requests/488 which is the one machine that is available again.

We expect the network within QE Basement to be available within the next days up to in the worst case some weeks.

Additionally, I expect all machines will keep their current domain name.

Likely machines within FC Basement will receive a new domain name to make it clear where machines are following a consolidated plan from SUSE-IT Eng-Infra applicable for the complete network at FC (Frankencampus) location.

@waynechen55 all four machines sp.kermit.qa.suse.de, sp.gonzo.qa.suse.de, sp.scooter.qa.suse.de, amd-zen3-gpu-sut1-sp.qa.suse.de are controllable over IPMI again.
The machines can also boot over PXE but get the PXE boot menu from an Eng-Infra maintained server, not qanet.
I have https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/merge_requests/493 prepared but unadapted tests would fail right now due to the differing PXE environment. In #119551 we are trying to handle the PXE setup with Eng-Infra to have access to a customizable environment but this likely takes more weeks still. In the meantime what is possible and what is an alternative that can be solved completely from os-autoinst-distri-opensuse perspective without needing any changes to infrastructure or backend would be to use the Eng-Infra supplied PXE boot menu and just boot an older version of the SLES installer (either older build or service pack) and conduct a remote installation of the current build from there. If that is not possible due to kernel mismatch between "linux" file and remote repo content then I suggest to boot an older version of SLES and update to the current build. You can consider doing that.
