PR https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/21285 Merged,
introducing the new schedule yaml schedule/containers/create_hdd_agama.yaml, using AGAMA ISOs to generate SLE-16 images for containers and publish as HDD.

This new yaml can be references in the YAML_SCHEDULE parameter in group Container Host settings, for create_hdd_* tests

Last days the sle16 image generation from iso had some issues, like a repomd.xml file not signed in a local repo and also an installation repo type 'dir' remained, causing zypper refresh issues.

MR https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/merge_requests/2083 merged 4/3/25, adding to OSD the job group 630, temporary without create_hdd, because sles16 iso were not unattended then boot not automated yet: the SLE 16 / Container Host - https://openqa.suse.de/group_overview/630 was created.
An HDD_1 was generated manually, for use in other container tests that revealed some missing application, like firewalld and setfacl.
Other yaml MR was merged, to fix some parameters: 2096, 2097, 2098.

Then today 5/3 the last ISO available resulted ready for unattended boot, then create_hdd test was restored in grp.630, with MR https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/merge_requests/2099

For now, let's not work on ppc64le but focus on all other architectures.

I will raise the topic that "ppc64le jobs do not work in the current configuration" on Wednesday.

To better clarify note-8:
the SLE16 tests in group 630 have been prepared and are present for all 4 cpu types: x86_64, aarch64, s390x, ppc64le.

Updated the schedule/containers/create_hdd_agama.yaml in PR https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/21352, to introduce the agama boot modules for the create_hdd_host test.

But that test, creating the HDD_1 images from iso, for container tests, using agama, a.t.m. work fine for x86_64, aarch64, s390x, but and not yet for ppc64le (power9), whose configuration appeared more problematic.

So, we're working on hdd-ready container tests, to make all pass.
A bug affecting tests, bsc: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1239088

Another issue affected tests run, about python version bsc1239211, but a fix allowed tests to pass.

A.t.m. all the SLE16 scheduled tests of new build PASS, only BATS checks ongoing.
For ppc64le, waiting next discussion.

As by ticket AC1, also test group SLE 16/Container Image created, id 634, updated with MR https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/merge_requests/2127.

Since last Mar'15 create_hdd_agama_containers@s390x-kvm test fails connecting SUT after reboot:
relation found with bug https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238590.

MR https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/merge_requests/2135 merged, to add informations about ppc64le.

Working on SLE16 Documentation and more, to trace the differences from SLE15.

Related to ticket's AC 3, I creted a first draft SLE16 presentation, for internal use only, collecting info-s from documentation found.It contains synthetic basic informations of main features and a list of useful reference links. See it in SLE 16 Presentation.
Suggestions and comments welcome.

Actually SLE 16 Beta 3 ISOs are now online.

An ssh issue was impacting s390x create_hdd_agama_containers, blocking the HDD image creation from ISO: after reboot, the kvm refused ssh access;

After some analysis and tests, the EXTRABOOTPARAMS resulted needing updated:
the previous working setting for s390x:
"EXTRABOOTPARAMS": "kernel.softlockup_panic=1 live.password=[redacted] inst.register_url=http://all-66.1.proxy.scc.suse.de"

now result needing only:
"EXTRABOOTPARAMS": "SetHostname=0"
see https://openqa.suse.de/tests/17182850.
Previous extra settings applied now via proxy, with the related jsonnet configuration.

This last setting already is present in OSD section Machines, for machine=s390x-kvm.

Therefore EXTRABOOTPARAMS have been removed from group 630 with MR:
https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/merge_requests/2152

Adapt AGAMA to new settings: https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/merge_requests/2156

The aarch64 hdd creation test was affected by a new screen sequencing appeared with Beta 3, after reboot. Issue fixed after needle added: install_updates-sle16-login-after-reboot-20250331.

Status of test group 630 is: aarch64, s390x, x86_64 test pass; ppc64le waiting, see note-11.

An issue in x86_64 on BATs fixed with MR https://gitlab.suse.de/qac/qac-openqa-yaml/-/merge_requests/2123.

Since new Build71.1 yesterday, the test in in group 630 s390x create_hdd containers is failing because install phase incomplete , investigation on going.

Followup to note-22: the config. containers/agama/sle_default_s390x_kvm.jsonnet needed an update in post-install script, to enable ssh (similar as agama_auto/sle_default_s390x_kvm.jsonnet)

Fix in PR https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/21659

I think this ticket can be resolved for now. PowerPC will be handled later, once the workers are ready.
