Motivation¶

I was informed by hhoron and msuchanek that haldir+legolas are actually Pre-GA Power9 machines. That could be the reason why the machine ID, e.g. 8375-42A, looks like Power8 and racktables has it as Power8 but it's actually Power9 as can be seen in https://powerhmc1.oqa.prg2.suse.org when you click on the little (i) and see the firmware version. Or check CPU type from within an LPAR. We need to clarify that in racktables and correct workerconf.sls entries which has cpu-power8 worker classes which should be cpu-power9 instead.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: racktables entries make it clear that the mentioned machines are Power9
• AC2: workerconf.sls has the correct cpu-power9 entries

Suggestions¶

• Simply update https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls for the according machines
• Lookup in racktables how to either change the machine type for the machines or redefine the machine type itself
