Description

Found while working on issue 18144

ipmi console sometimes reports timeouts or excess errors, disconnecting its serial over LAN

Current attempt to resolve this is to enable serial keepalive, deployed to openqaw2 on 26 Apr 15:45

If this doesn't work, there are other keepalive options, or else the rather expensive approach of monitoring if the SOL is live and reconnecting within the backend.

Yes, noted, investigating

  • Status changed from In Progress 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
