Description
Observation¶
openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP4-Full-x86_64-install_os@64bit-ipmi-hana05 fails in
installation
Test suite description¶
set_bootscript_hdd() after sleep 120s, at that time, most servers need more than 2 minutes to finish boot so PXE boot runs into failure because clear boot information is too early.
Reproducible¶
Fails since (at least) Build GM (current job)
Expected result¶
Last good: GM (or more recent)
Further details¶
Always latest result in this scenario: latest
set_bootscript_hdd() is optional for most servers with UEFI boot mode, installer can update boot order to boot installed OS as priority.
Adding set_bootscript_hdd if get_var('IPXE_UEFI'); breaks our testing, we successfully run testing without this line for a long time.
Discussed with Martin Doucha who added this line, his test bed is SuperMicro,
SuperMicro UEFI machines ignore the "force PXE boot" flag, they have to be configured to *ALWAYS* use the following BIOS boot order:
They have to be configured to *ALWAYS* use the following BIOS boot order: 1. PXE 2. HDD
supermicro system has firmware issue to support UEFI standard, so I suggest to make set_bootscript_hdd if get_var('IPXE_UEFI'); enabled for supermicro only.
