Description

Observation

To avoid bugs like https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1218923 where a test configuration error creates a problem, it is better to diagnose during first_boot and boot_to_desktop

In general, we should be able to read on either module if the system's RAM is under < 4GB and DESKTOP=gnome or DESKTOP=minimal and let the reviewers know of the situation.

If it's first_boot we need to add the fatal flag; if it's boot_to_desktop, soft_fail explaining the reason, or adding a record_info (fail), so it clearly shows that it is something off/wrong, without affecting the overall result of the test suite.

Take into account the possibility of overriding hardware requirements (https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP5/single-html/SLES-deployment/#sec-x86-requirements)

Acceptance Criteria

  • Ensure Machine type ppc64le-2g also has a 4g counterpart
  • The first_boot module fails if memory requirements are not met unless explicitly asked (i.e. via variable)
  • The boot_to_desktop module records an error or soft fails if memory requirements aren't met

openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP5-Online-QR-SAP-ppc64le-create_hdd_sles4sap_gnome@ppc64le-2g fails in
first_boot

Test suite description

The base test suite is used for job templates defined in YAML documents. It has no settings of its own.

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 134.1 (current job)

Expected result

Last good: 134.1 (or more recent)

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest
