[virtualization][functional][y] XEN/KVM host text mode installation on ipmi backend fails.
Added by xlai almost 7 years ago.
Updated about 5 years ago.
Target version:
SUSE QA (private) - Milestone 24
Description
On build 499.1, most virtualization jobs fail at host installation phase, because PR https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/4565 does not add needed needles for such installations.
Virtualization tests really depend on and affected by common installation or special change for xen/kvm roles or special change for ipmi backend. Not only test process delayed, but also we need spend quite some effort to debug the root cause.
Suggestion for future openqa PR-- to deliver to openqa PR reviewers:
when there is code change on common installation or special change for xen/kvm roles or special change for ipmi backend, please add verification run on https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1536711 (kvm) and https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1534947 (xen) and make sure the host installation part pass , before it gets merged.

I assume the problem here is not "ipmi" but rather "textmode". It looks like these needles are missing. I think it is feasible to add a test like "textmode+kvm_role" but in general I do not think we can prevent errors like these from happening again.
What we probably would all like if investigation on job failures would be helped by more automation, e.g. to point directly to recent test code changes so that the PR author could be immediately informed.

Yes, the problem here is on textmode.
I fully agree to add basic tests like "textmode+kvm_role@64bit-ipmi" and "textmode+xen_role@64bit-ipmi", which can expose all installation issues due to any relative code change on textmode, virt roles and ipmi special code path.
If above cases can be added to validation run for relative PRs, then such issues can be avoided well, why not ;-)?

If such intelligent things can be automated, it will be cool~ I raise my two hands up to support :)

I updated the ticket dependency chain. The ticket that we need to work on at first is #32089 . slindomansilla is working on this one currently. This ticket here is not expected to be resolved before 2018-06 based on these dependencies.

Are you sure it is resolved? The subtask is still open and I think by now we do not yet have an installation of xen/kvm server role text mode on ipmi which I thought was the idea of the ticket, isn't it? Do you have jobs you can reference that cover this?

This card's problem that 'XEN/KVM host text mode installation on ipmi backend fails' is actually fixed, see
kvm : https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2341580#step/system_role/6
xen: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2341397#step/system_role/7
The sub-task #33556 of adding xen/kvm server role text mode on ipmi in functinal job group is not done as you said ;-). The purpose of adding them to functional group is to expose the system role related fundamental host installation issues earlier. Still valid!
So I suggest to close this one and keep task 33556 open. Feel free to reopen it if you find it meaningful to be open though.

agreed. It just looks a bit unusual now that this "parent" ticket is "Resolved" while the "child" is not but I am sure we can live with that. Ok, fine.
