imagetester was reinstalled some months ago now with also being "transactional".

this is getting urgent now as power8.o.o is still Leap 42.3 which goes EOL this month. Without access to any management interface I would not dare to upgrade.

@nicksinger could you please help with your social engineering skills or "good connections" to learn about management interface access to power8 (and also o3)?

On power8, as I still do not know about any MC access I did
# ipmitool lan print
Set in Progress : Set Complete
IP Address Source : DHCP Address
IP Address : 10.160.1.104
Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
MAC Address : 98:be:94:4b:8e:98
Default Gateway IP : 10.160.255.254
Cipher Suite Priv Max : Not Available
Bad Password Threshold : Not Available
so it's 10.160.1.104 which relates to openqaworker-power8-ipmi.suse.de . So far so good but the usual credentials do not work for a SOL. Following https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Configuring_IPMI_under_Linux_using_ipmitool#User_Configuration I just did that myself now using
ipmitool user set name 2 ADMIN
ipmitool user set password 2
<enter password>
ipmitool channel setaccess 1 2 link=on ipmi=on callin=on privilege=4
ipmitool user enable 2

[24/06/2019 13:39:12] <okurz> michel_mno: I got IPMI (management interface) to power8.o.o now, will do an update/reboot/upgrade over the course of this and maybe next week
What I did on power8:
cd /etc/zypp/repos.d/
mv devel_openQA_Leap{_42.2,}.repo
sed -i 's/42\.3/15.1/g' *
zypper ref
zypper patch --updatestack-only && zypper -n dup --auto-agree-with-licenses --replacefiles --download-in-advance
for i in $(cat /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck) ; do vimdiff $i ${i%.rpm*}; done
rm $(cat /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck)
rpmconfigcheck
reboot
Monitored that the bootup works fine over IPMI interface. Then triggered a job on o3 for ppc64le, started https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/966916 . Seems to be fine. So upgraded to Leap 15.1 but not reinstalled as transactional system.

Actually I am pretty happy with the setup as-is. The other workers are transactional, power8 is not but also automatically updated. This did not seem to pose any problems so far. I don't think we need to go the extra mile and make power8 transactional as well
