Description

Motivation

Currently we conduct a full installation just to boot into a snapshot afterwards. We should rewrite the test to boot published images and try booting into snapshots there
This will help us to signficantly reduce execution time of the test suite.

Here is the scenario for SLE 12 SP 5: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?version=12-SP5&arch=x86_64&machine=64bit&distri=sle&test=boot_to_snapshot&flavor=Server-DVD

Acceptance criteria

  1. Pre-created image is used to test functionality to boot into the image

Suggestion

We consider migrating scenario to yaml if schedule is same for all architectures, then we should be able to avoid using BOOTHDD parameter.
