On openqaworker-arm-3 in sudo journalctl -u os-autoinst-openvswitch.service:

May 22 01:43:24 openqaworker-arm-3 systemd[1]: Started os-autoinst openvswitch helper.

May 22 01:44:25 openqaworker-arm-3 os-autoinst-openvswitch[3238]: can't parse bridge local port IP at /usr/lib/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-openvswitch line 46.
May 22 01:44:25 openqaworker-arm-3 os-autoinst-openvswitch[3238]: Waiting for IP on bridge 'br1', 1s left ...

so seems like https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/commit/dbf659be290dad02d523502b7240dd4f0997e290
is not effective (anymore?) . https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/merge_requests/429#note_288016 states that a warning would be fixed but likely the original fix was not re-verified and got lost.

sudo systemctl show os-autoinst-openvswitch.service | grep OS_AUTOINST_OPENVSWITCH_INIT_TIMEOUT

shows Environment=OS_AUTOINST_USE_BRIDGE=br0 OS_AUTOINST_OPENVSWITCH_INIT_TIMEOUT=60 so not 300 as it should be.

Did sudo systemctl disable --now salt-minion telegraf openqa-worker-auto-restart@{1..100} (what was the better way again to stop all currently worker instances?)

We use an environment override file. Apparently it's not possible to override environment settings from an environment file https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/9788 and an explicit environment file provided by option in https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/systemd/os-autoinst-openvswitch.service.in#L15 is discouraged, see https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/9788#issuecomment-420385947 but a systemd service override file as we use should work. I realized that the name of the directory is wrong, fix in

https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-states-openqa/-/merge_requests/495

Testing my changes on okurz-vm.qa with

export host=openqaworker-arm-3; for run in {01..30}; do for host in $host; do echo -n "run: $run, $host: ping .. " && timeout -k 5 600 sh -c "until ping -c30 $host >/dev/null; do :; done" && echo -n "ok, ssh .. " && timeout -k 5 600 sh -c "until nc -z -w 1 $host 22; do :; done" && echo -n "ok, uptime/reboot: " && ssh $host "uptime && sudo systemctl is-system-running && sudo reboot || sudo systemctl --failed" && sleep 120 || break; done || break; done

What I learned from this:

• Ask more diligently for at least two tests in all cases:
  • Is the new issue/feature working?
  • Does the old feature still work?
• Also be more diligent about testing reboot stability, see https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqav3/wiki/#Best-practices-for-infrastructure-work
