Description

Motivation

To prevent test VMs with insecure passwords running in the SUSE networks for #157537 we should setup an s390x qemu backend host within SUSE networks to replace the svirt setup relying on direct SSH to test VMs.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: At least on production s390x qemu openQA worker within OSD infrastructure
  • AC2: Both s390zl19+s390zl1a are used in production

Suggestions

  • Wait for #158455 to have native s390x packages
  • See https://confluence.suse.com/display/enginfra/LinuxONE+LPARs about available s390x machines
  • Install on s390x test host or s390zl12+13 in parallel but don't try to break the existing libvirt based setup for now :) Alternative: Use new hosts s390zl19+s390zl1a
  • Trigger test openQA jobs
  • If successful create according tickets for testing squads to transfer their s390x KVM tests to the qemu backend
  • Ensure both s390zl19+s390zl1a are used in production depending on the choice made regarding using s390zl12+13 or s390zl19+1a

the ZFCP disks to store images have been added to ZL19 and ZL1A.
They are still missing a filesystem and proper mount rules.
