Observation¶

openQA test in scenario sle-16.0-BCI-Updates-ppc64le-bci-base_16.0_on_SLES_12-SP5@ppc64le fails in
root_BCI-tests_all

Given the fact that we are running SLFO code stream on old PowerPC workers, the BCI test containers are failing with segfaults when running binaries in the containers.

As in SLM testing, we need to use emulated PowerPC workers on SLEM16, anything newer than POWER8.

Expected result¶

Last good: None

Acceptance criteria¶

1) SLFO tests are using Power9 workers, currently only available as emulated workers

QEMU=ppc64
QEMUCPU=POWER9
WORKER_CLASS=qemu_x86_64-large-mem
MACHINE=ppc64le-emu

2) Make sure that host images are adjusted for the emulated workers

• openQA's job group
• Schedule mechanism of container host image refresh
