closed[tools][functional][u][medium][pvm] Enable graphical installation for the powerVM backend
0%
Description
The current implementation of the spvm backend can only install in textmode (reference).
This most likely happens because the initiated console from the powerVM backend is not correctly pass the $gui parameter to sshCommand (consoles/console.pm) with then in turn never adds "-X" to the ssh options. The resulting call of yast.ssh inside the SUT then opens the ncurses UI and not the graphical installer.
AC1: A cloned graphical job from OSD actually starts a graphical installer with the powerVM backend

I think this is more driven by wanting to extend the test coverage therefore moving to the tests sub project. Also I set [u] because IMHO the [u] team can better handle special back ends although main part of installation will happen related to [yast]

There are high expectations on having the pvm backend in place, e.g. for SLE12SP4. We need to move forward a bit faster.
Updated by okurz over 6 years ago
Hm, shouldn't we start with a simple test, e.g. "memcheck", on the new backend?
@nicksinger could you please reference precursor tickets, e.g. from the tools team and what is the current situation?
It looks like we are missing even more tickets to have that whole story covered completely, e.g. at least two workers, salt recipes for worker config, etc.

Looks like as if the sshCommand was not the problem.
The problem was, that the kernel commandline was wrong:
Wrong:
sshd=1 sshpassword=foobar
Right:
ssh=1 sshpassword=foobar
This resulted in the SUT to boot into text installation on the serial tty.
So there was not even an ssh to the SUT in the first place.
With ssh=1 the SUT boots up to the yast please connect via ssh message - then the test waits for a needle:
http://grenache-1.qa.suse.de/tests/140
I think here is some step missing that issues the ssh to yast and calls yast.ssh.

There might have been a different intention. "sshd=1" means start an additional ssh server but do not run the installation over SSH. This approach is also used e.g. for s390x-z/VM for VNC based installations where we additionally still want to have a terminal connection to the SUT, e.g. to execute shell commands to collect logs.

No, we don't. Please do not set any ticket to blocked without assignee to track if the blocked status is resolved. You could add tickets with the relation "blocking" though.

disk space on shared-workers was cleaned up manually
-> https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-sle/shared-development-worker/merge_requests/18 for solving this in the future (or we should increase the disk size)
I want to try this ticket out today, hope you don't mind

WIP PR created: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/6470
Verification runs and crosschecks of regressions still in progress
Next steps:
- Create and enable ssh-x testmodule for spvm on o.s.d (first in testdev group and later move to functional)
putting to feedback for now
Updated by mgriessmeier almost 6 years ago
- Status changed from Feedback to In Progress
so after looking on the finished verification runs, we face two issues:
- on ssh-X the installation itself took longer than 2000s, so rebootnow needle didn't match
- on ssh-text we might need to adapt the new console handling also for the reboot process
I will take a look on both

Console handling to reconnect the management console got unified, PR was updated
too long installation on graphical is still under investigation, most likely product issue
