I don't see any blockage by that other issue - you can do VNC+SSH even on localhost
Updated by coolo almost 9 years ago
IMO you have 2 ways to do implement this with KVM:
1) extend qemu backend to allow -kernel, -append and -initrd being passed. The rest looks like bootloader_zkvm.pm
2) fake the headless and use qemu's VNC to type install=.... into the isolinux screen and after that select_console('remotessh')
in both ways you don't need multi machine support. MM only gets into the play if you wanted PXE or alike.

I like this solution because it sounds simple and is closer to what people do with PXE servers (and as we don't provide an 'official' PXE solution, I'd rather test the 'core' functionality works by loading -kernel -initrd, etc)
2) fake the headless and use qemu's VNC to type install=.... into the isolinux screen and after that select_console('remotessh')
I like this idea also - and I wouldn't call it 'faking' if we used the mini-ISO (aka NET ISO) as for that ISO you NEED to supply install= in order for it to work
And right now we have no coverage on the mini-ISO
in both ways you don't need multi machine support. MM only gets into the play if you wanted PXE or alike.
Yeah I see that now

SSH remote installation works only in text mode, because window decorations are applied from local system.
Can be fixed by copying solution from s390 (using xdotools)
Updated by okurz over 8 years ago
maybe not "copying" but using the same solution, see the change we did in https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/1418/files to call "fullscreen" if videomode is ssh-x independant of architecture. Of course, it has to be ensured this works for all backends.
Updated by mkravec over 8 years ago
sure, I meant "copying = using the same solution" - sorry for confusion

Updated by okurz over 8 years ago
mkravec, what are your current plans on this? can you try if it works on opensuse, too? what about the ssh+X way based on what has been done for s390x? With https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/commit/f6d05152f6a3cb24fb5b3931569e340d05dfbdb3 there is a generic approach to set windows to fullscreen which could be used also for non-s390x tests, e.g. on openSUSE.
Updated by mkravec over 8 years ago
I plan to add this test also to opensuse, hopefully next week. When it is finished I can look into changing ssh remote installation test to use ssh+X.

I tried to reproduce (https://openqa.suse.de/tests/471731#step/remote_slave/8) on my local openqa instance, but everything was working fine (http://dhcp91.suse.cz/tests/overview?distri=sle&version=12-SP2&build=1974&groupid=3).
My guess is that it is openqa-network issue, but I am still searching for source of the problem.
Updated by mkravec over 8 years ago
worker3 update fixed issue with inaccessible repository.
Now there is mutex problem where parent test finishes before child notices unlocked mutex - working on it.
Updated by mkravec over 8 years ago
Issues fixed.
I don't have permissions on openqa.opensuse.org to add TW & Leap, please fix or change assignee.
Updated by RBrownSUSE over 8 years ago
You have permissions now, use them carefully :)

- Priority changed from High to Low
we have tests for SLE, openSUSE ones would be great but less important. Reducing priority. Other ideas that have been mentioned to be followed on: Test on other architectures, e.g. ppc64le and maybe also aarch64

We don't have workers with 'tap' class on opensuse - Richard?
Updated by RBrownSUSE over 8 years ago
Probably not - we can make them though - ask ludwig?
Updated by okurz over 8 years ago
according to @coolo's answer in opensuse-factory just before you answered was that worker4, the one openSUSE got from SUSE just recently, has this set up so bind to that.

@mkravec: Any update on this for opensuse?
Updated by mkravec over 7 years ago
No update, network setup was not working for me on o3 last time I tried - which was some time ago, I did not work on this..
I will look at this after I finish poo#18492

I will re-assign after I get time to work on this, now Kubic/CaaSP have priority, so maybe somebody else would be interested in this multimachine test.

@okurz: I struggle with justifying why should we have this item in the product backlog for SLE Functional team as this is done for SLE and it seems we struggle to work on this in regards o´to TW and Leap.
I would rather remove it from the backlog for the QA SLE Functional as of now and revisit it once we are done with the issue: 25614. Then we could work on "cross-checking test matrix among SLE, TW and Leap"

Please let's talk about this offline.
Updated by okurz almost 7 years ago
I don't see why #25614 should stop us to work on this. We have VNC+SSH installation tests for SLE and we should have the same for openSUSE as we want to use the same on both if we can. And here I see that we can. We might need changes to the worker setup of openSUSE workers but besides that I don't see a problem.

Move to new QSF-y PO after I moved to the "tools"-team. I mainly checked the subject line so in individual instances you might not agree to take it over completely into QSF-y. Feel free to reassign to me or someone else in this case. Thanks.

There was no confirmation from Lubos to enable these scenarios on Leap, so we keep it for TW only for now. Once there is a request from leap RM, we will simply enable those scenarios.
