Description
QA need to do Validation testing where SLES 11 SP4 and 12 SP1 is installed to iSCSI Devices
This will require using ibft to 'boot to iscsi'
We should not need extra hardware on the SUT (Guest) side of things, because this should all be possible in Qemu (see https://gist.github.com/smoser/810d59f0dd580b1c1256 )
However it does need an iSCSI Target
We have 2 options
- Use a real hardware iSCSI array
- Test SLES's ability to act as an iSCSI target, and test the iSCSI client/initiator against that
As openQA can do multi-machine testing I'd propose #2
So this task requires the following
- Add any backend support needed for QEMU to use ipxe/ibft
- If using openQA as the iSCSI target/server then write tests to setup an iSCSI target on SLES (could use assets as there is no point testing installation)
- Write tests for installation via ibft (should be very similar to s390x tests as it will require Disk Activation)
- Done
- Priority changed from Normal to High

"fvogt" from SUSE did some experiments regarding iSCSI with openQA it seems. Get in contact to share experiences. He is on #opensuse-factory, too
- Status changed from New to In Progress
I had short conversation with Fabian, he has same knowledge/experience with iscsi in openQA as me, close to none.
I tried to follow the link in description, but I'm not able get iBFT work in qemu.
I could setup everything following https://gist.github.com/smoser/810d59f0dd580b1c1256
but after I started SLES installation with 'withiscsi=1' iBFT tab was missing in iscsi configuration.
It works, I could do it manually, now I will put it into openQA

Spoke with Olive, I will add iSCSI test for openSUSE
- Priority changed from High to Low
remaining openSUSE tests would be good but are lower prio for now.
- Copied to action #12966: Enable iSCSI client/server test scenario for openSUSE added
- Checklist item changed from [x] SLE, [ ] TW, [ ] Leap to [x] SLE
- Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
- Priority changed from Low to High
openSUSE enablement tracked in #12966
