Description

Motivation

The openQA webUI VM for o3 has moved to PRG2. For now we don't have bare metal tests working, see https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/3446336#step/ipxe_install/2 and it will take some time until hardware is available in PRG2. Let's fix it with o3 VM in PRG2 and hardware in NUE1 for the time being

Expected result

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: bare metal tests can work on o3 after move as long as hardware is in NUE1

Suggestions

  • DONE Wait for the move
  • DONE After move connect NUE1 based workers over https to PRG2 based o3, see #132134 for details
  • Fix o3 bare metal hosts iPXE booting, see https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/3446336#step/ipxe_install/2, i.e.
    • try to either point to new-ariel as PXE server in /etc/dnsmasq.d/openqa.conf from old-ariel
    • As alternative keep the /srv/tftpboot in sync with new-ariel, e.g. mount that directory remotely over the SSH tunnel

We tried to apply some forwarding from the old network to new ariel but for some reason tftp doesn't like this. It needs further debugging if e.g. some special ports are required to make it work (we assumed no because it should be "trivial"). I haven't worked on this and put it back into our queue if somebody else wants to give it a shot

Unassigning for clarity and because someone really should pick this up if possible.

The issue appears because openqa.opensuse.org used to be not terminating SSL.
Now we get a redirect to ssl which iPXE is not compiled with.

Updated by dheidler 9 months ago

Reconfigured o3 to serve this asset paths (/assets and /images) directly without redirect even on unencrypted http.
This is needed because iPXE HTTPS support is not very good.

2do:

  • Update ipxe menu on old-ariel to load config from new-ariel.
  • Update ipxe module used in referenced o3 test to work with updated ipxe menu.

Hello Team,
For https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/overview?distri=opensuse&version=Tumbleweed&build=20230809&groupid=38
virt-guest-installation-kvm@64bit-ipmi

virt-guest-installation-xen@64bit-ipmi
above mentioned tests are failing at installation.

I've identified the root cause of the test failures and the associated error. The issue seems to stem from an outdated file at the following location: http://openqa.opensuse.org/assets/other/autoyast_opensuse_kvm_sshd.xml. This file wasn't updated during the O3 migration triggered initially and I was working on this autoyast file at that time, even though you may have made updates to the "ipxe menu on old-ariel to load config from new-ariel."

However, please note that the file at this location on old Ariel is not being updated. O3: http://openqa.opensuse.org/assets/other/autoyast_opensuse_kvm_sshd.xml.
To access and update the file on old Ariel, you can use the following path: vojha@old-ariel:> sudo vi /var/lib/openqa/share/factory/other/autoyast_opensuse_kvm_sshd.xml

It's important that both locations have the same file content to ensure consistency. This will allow us to make necessary changes to the autoyast profile in the future, in line with our requirements.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope this helps

For the time being I would request to please overwrite the file completely from https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/data/virt_autotest/host_unattended_installation_files/autoyast_opensuse_kvm_sshd.xml

OR FROM old-ariel:> sudo vi /var/lib/openqa/share/factory/other/autoyast_opensuse_kvm_sshd.xml

and copy to http://openqa.opensuse.org/assets/other/autoyast_opensuse_kvm_sshd.xml
