This test runs in a MM setup, with a job for node 1 in an HA cluster, and another job for node 2.

Both nodes boot from the same qcow2 image, i.e. HDD_1=sle-12-SP3-x86_64-ha-rolling_upgrade_update.qcow2, register the system to SCC, run a zypper patch command and then reboot to start configuring the HA cluster later.

However as can be seen on the results from build 20210618-1, node 2 is unable to boot after the zypper patch, while node 1 can:

node 1: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6285308#step/console_reboot/4
node 2: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6285307#step/console_reboot/4

Comparing the settings, I did not find anything that would explain why 2 tests that by that step should have worked identically, are finishing with different results.

I do not even think that any QAM-specific setup is used by the time the tests are failing, as this seems to be a simple "boot into 12-SP3 -> register -> patch & reboot" by the time the test fail. Even comparing both autoinst logs does not show anything that would explain the difference.

Looking around, I see that sometimes it is node 1 the one that is unable to boot, while sometimes it is node 2 as in the examples above.

Since we are starting from the same conditions (same qcow2 image) and are running the same modules, registering the same extensions, etc., I can only guess that there is a race condition causing one of the nodes to fail to boot after patching while it works on the other.

As can be seen on https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6285307#next_previous

Test could successfully finish in the run with build 20210620-1, while it failed with 20210621-1.

Test settings are of course the same save for the build.

Passing tests ran on openqaworker10:5, openqaworker5:6 & openqaworker10:8

Failing tests ran on openqaworker10:4, openqaworker10:7 & openqaworker5:34

So it doesn't seem to be any difference between the workers used.

I will be cloning the failing test in our development environment and ran the tests several times to try to reproduce, but I suspect a performance-related race condition to be affecting these results.

Cloned these jobs into our development environment with:

openqa-clone-job --host localhost --clone-children https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6298499 WORKER_CLASS=tap,qemu_x86_64

All tests passed in 5 consecutive runs:

1) http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4107 & http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4108
2) http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4110 & http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4111

While the webUI it's at openQA-4.6.1624280432.2ce59c621-lp151.4088.1.noarch in development environment vs openQA-4.6.1624015887.f215823e1-lp152.4085.1.noarch in osd, and openQA-worker is at openQA-worker-4.6.1624280432.2ce59c621-lp152.4087.1.noarch in development environment vs. openQA-worker-4.6.1624015887.f215823e1-lp152.4085.1.noarch in openqaworker10.

However test in osd fails with frequency: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6285307#next_previous

Could we attempt to move these tests out of openqaworker10 into another worker to see if they fare better?

Any hint at what may be causing this issue? It's frequent enough that it seems to be an actual issue, but clearly it's not an issue that's caused by the test code.

For reference what I answered in chat:

• I suggest to use https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqatests/wiki/Wiki#Statistical-investigation
• What is your current hypothesis? And what experiment did you design to check it?
• All worker machines within o3 and osd have their hostname as an additional worker class. This is meant to be solely used for investigation. So you can schedule tests on a specific machine, e.g. with WORKER_CLASS=openqaworker9

Thanks.

No current hypothesis. I'm currently blocked with this. Only working detail I have is that test works consistently without issues on our development environment, and it fails sporadically in openqaworker10 before even attempting any HA configuration (i.e., simply boot + zypper up + reboot causes the issue).

As discussed in the chat, I will move this to another worker and monitor, and write & schedule a test module to check the integrity of the qcow2 image when the tests are starting, even though I'm certain that the problem is not being caused by differences in the qcow2 image as it's the same file path in both jobs, and both jobs are running in the same worker.

Whatever is messing the test seems to be coming via an update after running zypper up, which should also be the same for both jobs. If I were to guess, I'd say the updated kernel file is getting corrupted when it is saved in one of the VMs and not in the other.

• All worker machines within o3 and osd have their hostname as an additional worker class. This is meant to be solely used for investigation. So you can schedule tests on a specific machine, e.g. with WORKER_CLASS=openqaworker9

Yes, I will try this.

I moved the rolling update tests to openqaworker9 via the qam_ha_rolling_update_node01, qam_ha_rolling_update_node02 & qam_ha_rolling_update_support_server test suites.

Let's see if there's a different outcome in this worker.

So that means you already have two hypotheses and you have already experiments in mind even if you did not call it such:

• H1 The worker machine makes a difference -> E1-1 pin jobs to a special worker and check if the fail ratio significantly differs
• H2 The root storage content is corrupted when loading within openQA tests -> E2-1 schedule a test module to check the integrity of the qcow2 image when the tests are starting

First run on openqaworker9 failed:

Node1: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6323075#step/console_reboot/4 (failing)
Node2: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6323076 (not failing)

While the last runs on openqaworker10 worked:

Node1: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6312914
Node2: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6312913

Will leave this as is for a couple of days to get more results, but initial results are not encouraging.

And based on my last message I will have to assign a higher priority to H2. However, I'm certain the root storage content is not corrupted. I think whatever corruption is there, comes after zypper up.

But let's see what the results of E2-1 are before anything else.

I am submitting https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/12791 to record checksums/digests of the HDD_# assets and of the kernel files to see if this can give a better hint of what may be happening in osd with this tests.

@okurz @grifalconi @dzedro could you help me with a review? Thanks in advance.

We have some results from the investigation, and they are inconclusive.

On the passing tests in the development environment, we can see the digest for the qcow2 image is the same right after setup:

Node 1: http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4143#step/show_hdd_info/1
Node 2: http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4144#step/show_hdd_info/1

hd0_overlay0's digest is different, but this is expected.

Digests remain unchanged after zypper up:

Node 1: http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4143#step/show_hdd_info#1/1
Node 2: http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4144#step/show_hdd_info#1/1

And kernel digest seems the same between both nodes:

Node 1: http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4143#step/check_boot_files/4
Node 2: http://mango.qa.suse.de/tests/4144#step/check_boot_files/4

After this, both nodes successfully reboot and test passes.

On a failing test in openqaworker9, it can be also seen that digest for the disks and the kernel between the 2 nodes are the same:

Node 1: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345325#step/show_hdd_info/1
Node 2: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345326#step/show_hdd_info/1

Same after zypper up:

Node 1: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345325#step/show_hdd_info#1/1
Node 2: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345326#step/show_hdd_info#1/1

And kernel after zypper up:

Node 1: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345325#step/check_boot_files/4
Node 2: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345326#step/check_boot_files/4

However, node 1 failed to boot with the new kernel:

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345325#step/console_reboot/4

While node 1 successfully booted:

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6345326#step/console_reboot/4

So at least it seems the cause is not any disk or file corruption

Why should sle-12-SP3-x86_64-ha-rolling_upgrade_update.qcow2 change ... ?

Issue is also present on 12-SP4 rolling upgrade scenario:

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6489800
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/6490880#step/console_reboot/4

Also booting from the same 12-SP3 qcow2 image.

So in 12-SP3 job groups the issue is present when doing rolling update (12-SP3 to 12-SP3 with MU updates) and in 12-SP4 when doing rolling upgrade (12-SP3 to 12-SP4 with MU updates). Whenever issue is present, is right after updating the 12-SP3 systems, but before migrating.

Well, the issue should be fixed now.
I was able to reproduce the issue without the MM config and without the HA modules so nothing related neither HA nor MM.

There was a sporadic issue when the kernel is installed during the 12-SP3 LTSS (maybe it deserves a bug? I still don't understand why we are the only ones who test migrations in QAM)

The solution was to:

• Download the qcow2 on my laptop
• Boot the SLE12SP3 system
• Register system + LTSS + HA
• Update
• Deregister
• Reboot and make sure it rebooted well
• Cleanup the system
• Upload the qcow2 to openqa

Let's monitor the Test Repo jobgroup until next Monday before closing the ticket.

Issue is now fixed and the test is passing.
