QA » openQA Project » openQA Tests

I see two options regarding the naming: Either we keep test suites like "default" and it is only creating an image on disk-image capable backends and not on others or we only keep "default" for the backends which do not support disk-images and instead only have the "create_hdd_…" ones and then "console" and "x11" as the scenarios booting the images created by the "create_hdd_…" ones.

Just to make you aware: This has impact on basically all products and teams using openQA so we should keep this in mind for risk mitigation, e.g. also involve QAM, openSUSE, etc., early in the process to get feedback, e.g. in a "WIP-PR" with verification runs showing how QAM scenarios would look different or unchanged and still working.

AC1: The solution for the AC1 (which do not require main.pm changing, only configuring in openQA):

1. Add new Test Suite for the installation:

   1. Go to Test Suites;
   2. Press "New test suite" button;
   3. Set "Name" to default_installation;
   4. Set "Settings" to the following:

   INSTALLONLY=1
   PUBLISH_HDD_1=SLES-%VERSION%-%ARCH%-Build%BUILD%@%MACHINE%-default.qcow2
   

2. Update "Settings" column for default Test Suite with the following:

   BOOT_HDD_IMAGE=1
   HDD_1=SLES-%VERSION%-%ARCH%-Build%BUILD%@%MACHINE%-default.qcow2
   START_AFTER_TEST=default_installation
   

3. Add new Job Template for the installation:

   1. Go to Jobs for Functional: Server;
   2. Press "+" button in "Test" column's header of sle-12-SP4-Server-DVD table;
   3. Select default_installation from dropdown list;
   4. Set the following:

 aarch64 column -> aarch64
 ppc64le column -> ppc64le
 s390x column -> s390x-kvm-sle12
 64bit column -> 64bit, 64bit-smp, svirt-xen-hvm, svirt-xen-pv, uefi

1. Disable booting from the installation image for bare-metal machines and the ones which are not supporting images:

   1. Go to Machines;
   2. Add the following variables to the Settings of 64bit-ipmi and s390x-zVM-vswitch-l2 machines:

   +BOOT_HDD_IMAGE=
   +HDD_1=
   +START_AFTER_TEST=
   

   That will override the settings, that were specified in Test Suite for the certain Machine types.

AC2: Regarding the bare-metal machines and the ones which are not supporting images it is decided to leave them as is (in default) for now.
