Description

Motivation

Currently There are several cases where we cannot switch to a install shell when we are in an installation, however being able to switch to a console can be very useful.

Acceptance criteria

select_console allows us to switch between install_shell and installation in all cases including ssh remote install, vnc remote install, hyperv

Suggestion

  • Make sure to enable ssh in bootloader on the guest
  • Open another TTY on the remote controller, from which we open a new ssh session to the guest. This should work in all particular cases.

Further details

This is a change in os_autoinst. select_console is a function in testapi.pm.
The way to swith between consoles is:
select_console 'install-shell';
select_console 'installation';
