Description

We recently get a suggestion and agreed in discussions with Heiko Rommel, Jan Stehlik, and Antoine Ginies, that when testing released products, it is better to use latest QU image + scc updates.

For detailed requirements,

  • all supported products' latest QU image are needed,
    • sle12sp3~sle12sp5 (12sp3 has teradata tests after LTSS ends, 12sp4 seems ending but not final confirmed yet)
    • sle15sp2-sle15sp5 (and sle15sp6/7 when they are released)
  • available in three locations' mirror server and pxe server so that local openqa servers' jobs can access them-- DE NUE2 lab(OSD), PRG1 lab (http://openqa.qam.suse.cz/ resides in) and BeiJing lab (http://openqa.qa2.suse.asia/ resides in)
    • the QU images can be accessible via http(s) in repository way (unpacked from iso), and are put with FIXED names like SLExxSPx-QU-LATEST
    • the latest QU for all products are added in pxe server

I am not sure if this ticket's scope can be fully covered by openqa infrastructure (some should). It will help a lot, if anyone familiar with it can help point out which parts should go to which team. We will then split the ticket properly. Thanks in advance!

With the iPXE support, a new setting for the URL of released product is introduced, +MIRROR_HTTP=XXX in test suite level. It is more configurable than previous fixed ones in test scripts.

If we would support iPXE only(as opposed to PXE boot), we can set the value to the latest QU mirror server. We need not sync them on openqa servers at meantime.

  • Subject changed from Require latest released quarterly update images for each product to be available to [qe-core] Require latest released quarterly update images for each product to be available
  • Category set to New test

I assume this ticket is better suited for QE-Core within the scope "new product enablemement" hence adjusting the issue tracker accordingly

Are there extracted DVD files? Our bare-metal machines install SLE over iPXE, kernel files and boot files are required instead of iso.

I think we can request autobuild@suse.de or ask in team-buildops to make the SLP available also for QR? install/SLP/

I will extract them one by one, will let you know once done

Steps to download image and extract it to repo: [let me take 15SP6 QU1 as an example]

1. Download iso image to "fixed" dir
# cd /var/lib/openqa/factory/iso/fixed/
# sudo wget https://download.suse.de/ibs/SUSE/Products/SLE-Product-SLES/15-SP6-QU1/x86_64/iso/SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1.iso
# sudo chown -R geekotest:nogroup SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1.iso

2. Extract the iso image to "fixed" repo dir
# sudo mkdir -p /tmp/rfan
# sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/openqa/factory/repo/fixed/SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1
# mount -o loop SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1.iso /tmp/rfan
# sudo rsync -a -H /tmp/rfan/* /var/lib/openqa/factory/repo/fixed/SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1
# sudo chown -R geekotest:nogroup /var/lib/openqa/factory/repo/fixed/SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1
# cd /var/lib/openqa/factory/repo/
# sudo ln -s fixed/SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1 ./SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1
# sudo chown -R geekotest:nogroup SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1
3. Verify the repo can be accessed
https://openqa.suse.de/assets/repo/SLE-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-QU1-Media1/
4. clean up
# sudo umount /tmp/rfan
# sudo rm -rf /tmp/rfan

I can see them on https://openqa.suse.de/assets/repo/fixed/

Thank you for creating these installers and the direction to create a path.

@xlai I am not sure if you need sync the images to Beijing openQA server [or other places] as well. I am not able to access it for now. please let me know if any questions and further requirements.
