Description

According to https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/doc/networking.md

MULTINET parameter giving ability to have SUT with two network cards

when running job on 4.5.1512119921.b2fe214f-12.1 with MULTINET parameter I get qemu exception :

QEMU: qemu-system-x86_64: -net nic,vlan=1,model=virtio-net,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57: 'vlan' is deprecated. Please use 'netdev' instead.

well, if it blocks you - downgrade to the qemu version this documentation was written for.

it fails also on osd https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1323658. Not sure if problem is the same but nevertheless I can influence on version of qemu in osd but I need to make it work there too

small clarification - when I stated that it's blocks wicked testing I did mean that it's fully block , just all test cases which require second network card ( really approx. 10% of all tests )

I can reproduce this by cloning the mentioned o3 job locally. Let's see whether I can adjust the invocation of qemu to use 'netdev' instead.

I invested some time into this ticket today. In attachment you can find patch which fixing current issue.
Current issue consists from two problems :

  1. deprecated "vlan" option
  2. fault usage of NICMODEL variable for nic model

with applying my patch you will get two nics in SUT . I haven't create a real PR from my patch because actually you will get only one of them in operable state . second nic create exactly in patch is not assigned to any virtual network so it is not clear if there any chance to use it

@asmorodskyi Ok. I've tried your patch and yes - it isn't connected to any virtual network. I believe that the -net nic... option added by your patch is not sufficient. It only creates the device the guest sees but not the backend on the host-side. I'll look into this. Likely there's just a further option missing.

The PR has been merged. So the issue has technically been resolved by not providing the MULTINET parameter anymore. We found out that the same can be achieved using other variables: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/1103#issuecomment-463958149
