Description
Motivation¶
Apparently one openQA reserved server chassis was erroneously mounted elsewhere, https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&object_id=23373 . It should be moved to J11 and we should set it up for use similar as for other OSD workers in #132137 but probably use for virtualization-specific test including bare-metal tests, e.g. 2 nodes as bare-metal target machines, 1 node VMWare, 1 node HyperV.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: All 4 nodes of the server chassis are usable within OSD as bare-metal test hosts
- AC2: racktables is up-to-date with current use of the machine
Suggestions¶
- DONE
Check if machine is properly documented in racktables-> it is properly documented in racktables - We should take ~~https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=1160 and ~~ https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=10126 fozzie as reference and get IPMI and system ethernet connected with the help of IT accordingly for bare-metal testing. Keep in mind that fozzie is in PRG2e but the important point is that the machine has both IPMI and system ethernet in the same network as needed for bare-metal workers
- Try to connect to it and set it up as openQA
workerbare-metal test machines - On problems contact Eng-Infra
- Consider repurposing the machine for virtualization bare metal tests

(Anthony Stalker) Hi, we've identified the OpenQA chassis that was mounted to the BuildService rows by mistake. It is: https://racktables.suse.de/index.php?page=object&object_id=23373 . So this is an FYI for BuildService team that this server is moving soon. Also a question for QA team. This x86 chassis should go into J11 or J12?
(Oliver Kurz) oh, "free hardware"? :slightly_smiling_face: Please move it to J11
