open2nd select_console() call failed with pvm_hmc backend

Description
2nd select_console() call failed with pvm_hmc backend
I am testing for the first time the "install_only" test on my own ppc64le openQA machine with specific worker configured to access a LPAR P8 with pvm_hmc backend.
test failure when installation_overview is calling select_console 'install-shell' which is the 2nd call as per extract of attached autoinst.log (p8lpar_install_shell_not_matched_autoinst.log)

Hey, can you post a link to your job please? from the logs it's hard to tell what the actual issue is (looks just like the needle failed to match)

I am not able to put a link to my job, because my test was done in the IBM intranet.
Let me know what specific data you will need ?
As summarized by previous autoinst.log extract the first select_console is in bootloader_pvm.pm and 2nd one in installation_overview.pm
https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/lib/bootloader_pvm.pm#L119 select_console('install-shell');
https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/tests/installation/installation_overview.pm#L88 select_console 'install-shell';
I assume the 2nd call to select-console() still consider the session as active, while seems to be a new ssh connection.

- Category set to Feature requests
- Priority changed from Normal to Low
- Target version set to future
As "pvm_hmc" is a pretty recent addition I consider this as "feature request" to cover that. Also I don't see needs for the QA Tools team to look into this soon so "Low" and "future" for now. Of course, as always, this should have no impact on any contribution any time by anyone.

- Is duplicate of action #57329: [kernel][functional] PowerVM console is not active all the time added
Updated by pcervinka about 3 years ago
This should be fixed by persistent console feature, was tested and developed on spvm backend. I see persistent => 1 in hmc backend, so it means this should be fixed on hmc as well.
