This is "Workable" only in the sense that it'd need to be studied what is causing these problems, there is no one clear reason for the failures.

I think it's a bug, https://openqa.suse.de/tests/7020193#step/boot_to_desktop/7 7 minutes it's a long long time.

Moving to QE Yast as now it has been seen it happens in multipath cases every time:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/7174233#next_previous
Putting to new as should be triaged to Workable by PO.

Timo, why do you think it is related to YaST? Could you please share a link to the continuous failure, as you last link leads to 404.
Updated by mgrifalconi over 3 years ago
@oorlov here is one example of sporadic failure still happening https://openqa.suse.de/tests/7307038#next_previous

IMHO, it is not related to YaST. It happens on boot.
If any assistance from QE YaST team is required, we are happy to help, but we did not create this test suite and don't have expertise in this area.

I have no idea whom to assign that ticket. It seems that it is moving back and forth from qe-core and qe-yast?

multipath test modules and testing are maintained by QE Yast as such, but these mru*multipath test suites are another former maintenance department developed test suites.
The failing module however boot_to_desktop has Maintainer: yuwang@suse.com who is in QE Migration, maybe she can help to at least understand the topic? I mean it doesn't really matter whose this ticket should be as such, but we should find people who understand what is going on with it and how it eg differs to other multipath using tests which do not have the same failure.

For boot_to_desktop, it just wait system ready, then match the expected needles. It has one step to wait_boot. At here, the system is not started, as after 500s, it cannot get expected needle, so it returned fail. The real reason, it didn't match the needle, is because it cannot boot successfully or in 500s. My branch changed the wait time to 1000s, the system seems stopped at start I/O driver.
So I think it maybe a bug. The system cannot reboot

@tinawang123
I can see the error messages related to "dracut initqueue iscsiadm cannot connect to iSCSI daemon", IMO, most likely a bug.
Updated by tjyrinki_suse over 3 years ago
I studied it further and filed a bug at: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193512
Note that this ticket still includes references to many other initially similar looking problems, however all of the others seems sporadic ie do not happen every time. If it is to be that the bug filed is valid, this ticket continues to be also valid regarding the test issues on sporadic failures. They may still be about multipath - so potentially for QE Yast - even though they manifest in boot_to_desktop after the installation. This is because the booting only tends to fail after these multipath testing jobs, not others, so maybe the multipath setup could be somehow more stable.

Mention this is about sometimes failing, permanent problems would be due to other problems.
Updated by szarate about 3 years ago
with the test still failing so often, let's unschedule it, I'll give it a look and see later during the sprint what to we wanna do with it (i.e fixing it) and the fact that is a multi machine test that's failing, makes me think that its the same or a similar issue that haunts the multimachine sap tests - https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/95824

I created https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/14743
Failure with emergency shell is happening only on 12-SP3. [1][2]
I asked Thomas about releasing the fix also on SLE12.
But 12 SP3 is soon EOS, so I guess it's not worth the work to add workaround ...
I hope it will not happen so often and RETRY will be good enough workaround!

There was no failure, could be just luck, but I'm confident the main issues should be fixed.

On 12-SP3 it is happening "always", it is soon EOS so it will be gone.
