Description

Motivation

Current SLE virtualization tests are very much dependant on a stable installation in ncurses mode selecting the system roles "kvm virtualization host" and "xen virtualization host". Because the tests run on "bare metal" where scalability is limited plus timezone difference between Nbg and Bej a test failure is very costly and we can provide many when we cover at least the ncurses based installation selecting the kvm+xen roles. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1583951#step/system_role/6 is a recent failure which could have been prevented when [i]QSF[/i] would have seen it earlier.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: There is a new test scenario videomode_text+textmode+role_kvm working on SLE15
  • AC2: Same as AC1 but on SLE12SP4

Suggestions

  • Think hard about a good name
  • Add test scenarios to development job group and monitor there
  • Add to functional group
  • The same for SLE12SP4

#33556#note-4 is describing the name confusion. "textmode+role_kvm" is conducting a GUI based installation but is labeled "textmode" because the kvm/xen role selection triggers the default target to be "textmode".

Do be very explicit we could rename "textmode" to "target_textmode+role_kvm" even though the textmode target is the "default" for kvm. Then we can add another explicit scenario "target_textmode+videomode_text+role_kvm". Pro: Explicit, Con: Potentially too long name

An alternative would be just "role_kvm" and add another explicit "videomode_text+role_kvm".

Should it be "videomode_text+textmode+role_kvm"?

openqa_clone_job_osd --skip-chained-deps 1607995 VIDEOMODE=text _GROUP="Test Development: SLE 15" TEST=videomode_text+textmode+role_kvm

Created job #1608306: sle-15-Installer-DVD-x86_64-Build561.1-_textmode+role_kvm@64bit -> https://openqa.suse.de/t1608306

That job actually failed in https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1608306#step/system_role/4 because of a needle mismatch on system_role, exactly the errors we want to prevent for ipmi. It seems that we are unfortunate and we can not cover the same needles necessary for both "64bit" as well as "64bit-impi". So probably I will need to add to the ipmi machine right away.

more in #33556

and also retriggered the @64bit variant after needle creation with very low match level (52%) in the hope that the ipmi display will not differ too much -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1609650 passed

  • Moved scenario videomode_text+textmode+role_kvm@64bit to SLE 15 / Functional
  • Created new testsuite "videomode_text+textmode+role_xen" on osd

Had to pick up other more urgent tasks so was not able to continue so planning for next sprint and unassigning.

Next steps:

  • See https://openqa.suse.de/t1610414 (sle12sp4_kvm@64bit) -> failed trying to change desktop
  • Fix the desktop selection for kvm/xen role in videomode_text for SLE12SP4 (needs only local test with isotovideo, do not waste time with openQA)
  • Schedule for SLE12SP4 or check results in test development
