QA » openQA Project

Motivation¶

• Need to upgrade machines before EOL of Leap 15.5 and have a consistent environment

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: all LSG QE salt controlled machines run a clean upgraded openSUSE Leap 15.6 (no failed systemd services, no left over .rpm-new files, etc.) except for OSD workers

Acceptance tests¶

• AT1-1: sudo salt -C 'not G@roles:worker and not G@roles:webui' grains.get oscodename | grep -B1 'Leap 15.5' is empty

Suggestions¶

• read https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/wiki#Distribution-upgrades
• Reserve some time when the related services are not heavily relied upon
• Keep IPMI interface ready and test that Serial-over-LAN works for potential recovery or for virtual machines virt-manager access
• After upgrade reboot and check everything working as expected, if not rollback, e.g. with snapper rollback

Rollback actions¶

• Remove silence alertname=Failed systemd services

Further details¶

• Don't worry, everything can be repaired :) If by any chance the machines gets misconfigured in many cases there are btrfs snapshots to recover, the IPMI Serial-over-LAN, etc.
