action #18144
closed[tools] restart ipmi management controller before every ipmi job
100%
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

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."

- 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
