Setting due date based on mean cycle time of SUSE QE Tools

I have talked to @pluskalm, who is listed as the contact for both machines. Although the UV Squad is currently not using them, they most likely have a use case for both machines.

So i am leaving the contact information in place for now and extending the loan period by 6 months.

and what will happen in 6 months then?

I'm talking to @opithart who is currently trying to set up the machines, though is running into issues when trying to boot SLES 15-SP6

Any ideas whats causing this issue ?
so far he tried:

• resetting the bios to default settings
• kernel parameter efi=debug but got no output
• kernel parameter efi=noruntime
• changing multiple secureboot parameters

Thats why i asked in chat yesterday what the default procedure for this is, and if i should simply extend it by some months. I don't know.

@robert.richardson Could you a ticket on the UV backlog with some notes on whatever you discussed? Otherwise the machines will probably be forgotten again 😉

We havent really discussed anything other than what i've already wrote. I asked if UV is using the machines, he said no but they would/could, i said ok, updated racktables and provided the IPMI credentials.

I now asked if they already have a ticket regarding the machines (Edit: not yet) that i can link here for reference and additionally i can create a checkup ticket for us (i would do that here in progress) to once again check on the machines when the loan period ends.
