0%
Description
Observation¶
From https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1710726999169689
openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP6-Migration-from-SLE15-SPx-ppc64le-ha_migration_online_pscc_sles15sp3_pre@ppc64le-spvm fails in
bootloader
to execute the grub command line or boot the kernel+initrd.
This seems to affect all openQA OSD tests on spvm
Reproducible¶
Fails since 2024-03-13, see history in grenache-1:1, possibly same in other instances on the same machine
Expected result¶
Last good: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13765888 from 5 days ago on grenache:1, also see verification runs from #155521
Further details¶

As mentioned in #139112#note-13, the process is slow and at least TIMEOUT_SCALE=4 was needed in the original verification job. The failed job in this ticket has TIMEOUT_SCALE=3 which seems to be insufficient.

From infra perspective we clarified that the current situation is as it is meaning a very slow throughput. Please just bump the according specific timeouts in the test code which should be handled by test code owners. Likely at the location
https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/e633d9eb360529939cb47d30fba85a5f9c77ba34/lib/bootloader_pvm.pm#L121
Already the previous use of timeout scale with value 3 is a workaround that should only be used for short time.
In the meantime we will focus on #155524

I tried to set TIMEOUT_SCALE=4 it cannot work: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13818599#step/bootloader_start/24
I extend the time ' assert_screen "pvm-grub-command-line-fresh-prompt", 1800, no_wait => 1;' at lib/bootloader_pvm.pm file.
