Description
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: The commonly used openQA installation autoyast profile covers chronyd.
Motivation¶
https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1707375395562249?thread_ts=1707375395.562249&cid=C02CANHLANP
o3 workers clock was running out of sync, chronyd was not running. Possibly never enabled as we use autoyast.
Suggestions¶
- Ensure that the profile we use/used for o3 worker installation (look into the according install progress tickets) is available, at best in https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/tree/master/contrib
- Crosscheck and fix URLs on https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/wiki/#Network-legacy-boot-via-PXE-and-OSworker-setup pointing to not existing documents
- Ensure chronyd is included
- The relevant profile is probably this one: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/contrib/ay-openqa-worker.xml.erb

The easy part is done here https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/5488.
Looking for a way to actual test it and verify it

I think the .erb profile is not really used. Please see the short linke mentioned in https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/wiki/#Network-legacy-boot-via-PXE-and-OSworker-setup . Also http://open.qa/docs/#_automatic_installation_of_the_operating_systems_for_openqa_machines mentions a file that is not there anymore.

What file is not there anymore? Ah. Indeed. ay-openqa-worker.xml no longer exists. I guess we have no link validation.
@ybonatakis Why is there both ay-openqa-worker-leap.xml and ay-openqa-worker.xml.erb mentioned here? I would assume you tested at least the new file you referenced? Can we get rid of one or clarify the difference, please?
https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/commit/ca56e5b38a118bcd866698cbc79e6e937a853184 seems relevant

I just managed to try the xml.
the installation failed but for completely different reason.
The steps to took:
- sudo yast2 autoyast check-profile filename=ay-openqa-worker.xml.erb output=result.xml run-scripts=true run-erb=true
- Upload it and run an installation on a VM using autoyast=
So I wonder if this is actually used somewhere and if it was ever worked.
do we want another ticket for fix this?

So the steps and the generated xml seems to work on Leap. But not with TW.

I guess it wasn't clear that the .xml.erb file needs to be transformed into an .xml file using an existing openSUSE system with yast. Can you reference the according official documentation where that transformation step is described?
you mean here or at the wiki?

As i said installation is performed with errors/warnings and i think the installation is not fully successful, ending in a install console with a prompt to login which i dont know how.
Should i consider this part of this ticket?

If the existing steps are not working, and I count 3 problems here now, it feels like we need a new ticket like Ensure openQA autoyast profile is known to work

So the xml has been updated and the main requirement is fullfilled. There is the AC2 which is not clear at this point. I see that that section needs to be updated but IIUC not with the .erb file. It should also include the steps to generate the xml from .erb if nothing change.
Anyone have suggestions or should I resolve it and follow what https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/155305#note-12 says?

Actually it's not fulfilled. As it turned out the file you changed is not "The commonly used openQA installation autoyast profile". I suggest you crosscheck with the people that did the recent installation of machines which profiles they actually used.

The ticket description does not mention an "AC2" but I guess you mean that our wiki instructions should actually be usable.

All issues you consider feasible to fix as part of this ticket please fix as part of this ticket. For the rest please report separate specific tickets

As i understood, they used to use the shortlink which was pointing to a specific commit. However the ay-openqa-worker.xml.erb is the corresponding updated version and seems to work just fine.

Yup not a AC but the second suggestion. LInks have been updated.
I created a new short link to ay-openqa-worker.xml.erb of the master branch. Named: ay.xml.erb

Finally tested in VM. chrony is installed and service is running.
I will file tickets for:
- some warnings in the generation of the file.

yes please.
And thank you for creating #156169. With that after the above change please resolve here. Adding automatic validation of all autoyast profiles is out-of-scope for here :)
