Description

Motivation

There is an ongoing discussion within SUSE how to properly connect our currently available ppc Power 10 resources and test within o3.
In a private Slack discussion we agreed on testing a Power 10 LPAR with the "normal" openQA qemu instances as worker.
Michal Suchanek provided us with a SLE15 SP7 test LPAR called "lingonberry-15". We should test if we can install openqa-worker instances on there and connect them to o3

Acceptance Criteria

Suggestions

  • Use our common resources to install required packages to make the LPAR act as worker
  • Connect it to o3 and try if it can execute tests
  • Lookup lingonberry-15 on Slack or ask Michael or Nick for more details
  • c.f. kerosene for a similar setup which is also in SUSE network but connects to o3 over https

Out of scope

The machine should be ready to use as-is. Setting up LPAR is not needed. We also knowingly try to avoid a openSUSE/o3 operated HMC so the existing resources withing SUSE should suffice to conduct this experiment

@nicksinger As you marked it as High , and the machine is already available, I take it we should look into it quite soon? Hence putting this in Next .

And I guess this is o3 production infrastructure, hence adding the tag.

Machine is currently running SLES-15-SP7.
Do we want to continue with it or should we install openSUSE Leap?

Both should work. I suggest you just try to get it to work with the currently installed OS
