Description

Motivation

The particular test module is supposed to select sda disk for root partition. This used to be an adequate solution as the disk naming for virt-mm-64bit-ipmi worker_class SUTs was stable. Lately this has changed and we see SUTs with sda being too small for a root partition or no sda at all.

openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-guided_btrfs@virt-mm-64bit-ipmi fails in
accept_default_part_scheme

Acceptance criteria

AC1: Verify with infra/Yast/kernel team what is the expected naming for the particular arch.
AC2: Depending on AC1, adjust the test to select the biggest enough disk

Additional information

Try to avoid to create complex logic to select the biggest disk, perhaps a regex (sdb|sdc) is enough and we can search the UI element with libyui-rest-api with that.

After kernel 5.3 we cannot expect the disk naming to follow the same pattern for every test (see https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=000018449 ). Workers running on "imagetester" hypervisor have multiple disks with variaety of sizes, so sda can be unsuitable for installation (too small) which makes the system to chose by default sdb and by also chosing sda, we get an extra screen to chose which disk should contain the root partition. By relying on the installer's default disk selection, we avoid having to select by name or size.
