Q1: No. In Testopia there are very very old manual tests for the SMT itself but they are obsolete. Besides that only registration/migration against SMT was tested manually for SLE 12 SP 1/2/3.
Q2: The existing SMT will exist in parallel with the new RMT. RMT will come end of the year and will be tested by the SCC team together with QA APACI.
Q3: About SMT? Maybe in the documentation for SLES.
Q3: Jiri Srain. He used to be the PJM for SMT. For the new RMT it is Artem. And Sunny is already in close contact with him.
Q4: as far as I know only the PRD. I will check Fate as well.

Update: there are no relevant features for instalaltion with SMT in Fate.

Team APACI has added a manual Testcase about SMT to Testopia:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/tr_show_case.cgi?case_id=1621542
Let me double check what they plan here.

More questions:

1. Is it supported to install and run the application "SMT" on SLE15 or only for SLE15?

@maritawerner: OK, so it is the item which you have mentioned to me today (24.10.2017).

What I understood today from our conversation is that you are planning to talk to Sunny in order to see if this is the job for QA SLE Functional team, or perhaps Sunny's team is planning to do it. Correct?

Yes

Hi maritawerner,
This case is wirrten by me, I would like explain it. We are focus on testing the function of SMT server, "Register SLE Product via SMT" it means install SMT pattern on the latest SLE 15 product and use it as SMT server. And then register SLE product (SLES15 or SLES12 SPx) via this SMT server.
I think this "a simple installation with SMT" could be tested as a part of our SMT test, and I would like to take POO and try adapt SLE installation workflow for SMT.

Hello JWSun,
thanks for the explanation. Let me explain my expectations a litle bit. SMT is atm only available on SLES 12 and that is what customers have. So whenever you test against SMT, might it be installation or migration, you have to install The SMT on SLES 12. On SLES 15 we will have the new product RMT but that is a different story.

So for SLES 15 we have to do an installation test with SMT and this Testcase has to be implemented in openQA and run with every build validation. And I think the correct area for that is the SLE functional job group. So if you want to do that task please sync with Oliver Kurz the coordinator of the SLE functional group. Let me know if you have got any questions.

Hi @maritawerner, Thanks for explanation. It will great helpful to clarify our test scope.

Please double confirm follow test scenarios in case any misunderstand.
As a application or pattern

• SMT pattern is only support for SLES12, we don't have SMT pattern for SLES15.

As a register Server (Same as SCC)

• Install and register SLES15 product via SMT server (SLE functional job group)
• Migration SLES12 to SLES15 via SMT server (SLE migration job group)

Submit PR#3825 for installation with SMT case.

Hello Jiawi,

were can I find that test in openQA. Could you please add a link to that progress ticket? THX

Hello Marita,

Because of our SMT server in Nuremberg is down, I haven't add this case to O.S.D.
@whdu have submitted an IT ticket for the SMT server, he is following up the server status. After our SMT server is back, I will add the SMT install case to OpenQA.

Thanks for the update. Just FYI we have bug

Some SLE15 Modules can't be enabled on SCC Alpha Key organisation (using SMT)
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072913

Could we cover that in the Testsuite as well?

Update from Fcrozat: bug is fixed now, installation of SLED with SMT is possible now

To be more precise: it works when installing SLES or SLED.

BUT you must be running SMT >= 3.0.31, which supports SLE 15 "module tree", from https://build.suse.de/package/show/Devel:SMT:SLE-12-SMT/smt . There is a maintenance update for it in progress https://maintenance.suse.de/incident/5815 which should be release early January.
