Description

ipmi cards are unreliable, but seem to be quite reliable if you restart them

before running a test, starting the card with "ipmitool mc reset hot" would be a sensible option to keep them reliable

Still investigating, https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/767 should let os-autoinst get us more helpful info

#5 Updated by okurz about 6 years ago

the PR should be in. Is https://openqa.suse.de/tests/901944#step/textinfo/3 related to that maybe?

No, who are you to say what should or shouldn't be in?

"should be in" as in: "Hm, depending on what I heard when the installation was last deployed the content of the pull request is probably already effective on the corresponding workers."

Could you guys please stop abusing this issue? I already removed okurz's tag - see #6

#10 Updated by RBrownSUSE about 6 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Resolved

Serial disconnect issues resolved by https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/777

Serial keep alive workaround removed as no longer beneficial with auto reconnect

No iKVM issues reported since regular nightly restart of the card, so no evidence that the whole mc controller needs to be restarted on every job
