Description
User story¶
There is a cli tool called snipl (Simple Network IPL), which can be used to communicate with the zHMC from the console.
We already did a field tests of this tool and are ready now to implement a first, small openQA backend similar to the spvm backend.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: Simple backend which interacts with given LPARs
- AC2: Upstream documentation of this backend

Let's try to do this after #33340 for powerVM which we see related.

We do not have ressources available. We expect the new mainframe to be available after 2018-08 and let's plan after next vacations.

@mgriessmeier WDYT, how does the mainframe frontline look like as of now?

we've got available resources last week, so there is at least one lpar which can be used for this purpose.

@okurz, as you may know, leon is also working on automating virtualization tests on s390x. However he is blocked by the situation that the svirt backend on s390 does not support to get serial output, so assert_script_run, script_output apis are not supported -- quoted leon, please correct me if I am wrong.
So he is looking for other backend. Do you think this planned new backend can support the need to get output from sut?

I think with this we might have an explanation for the "blocking" ;) I set the "blocked" status considering that to my understanding we need to solve the same problems properly for all backends. Based on my priority assessment I planned within the team QSF to solve our requirements for IPMI first in a proper way and then extend it for s390x. We appreciate any help to cleanup the current implementation according to the chain of tickets. However, the perfectly valid alternative is to go further with this ticket here regardless of the status of IPMI.

Thanks for the explanation of "block", reasonable from this way then.
Would you please also answer the other question that whether this planned new backend can support the need to get output from sut?

Yes, I consider this a mandatory part of the backend. If not part of this ticket then at least within the parent ticket saga #28630

Great! Thank you! Look forward to this new special backend for s390x automation test.

Move to new QSF-u PO after I moved to the "tools"-team. I mainly checked the subject line so in individual instances you might not agree to take it over completely into QSF-u. Feel free to discuss with me or reassign to me or someone else in this case. Thanks.
