Description

Motivation

See http://duck-norris.qam.suse.de/tests/7274 (and the cloned jobs within). Also other jobs are affected e.g. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/7171999, http://openqa.qam.suse.cz/tests/28072

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: Epic is updated to clarify if package updates contributed to the problem

Suggestion

  • Rollback package updates, i.e. older rpms that have we stored in local caches or btrfs snapshots of the root fs.
  • Trigger tests after rollback and verify pass rate

Out of scope

  • Debugging on any host outside O3 or OSD (was: Check with @ph03nix for login to duck-norris.qam.suse.de if needed)

  • I wouldn't know how to login to duck-norris.qam.suse.de - apparently the machine isn't using our normal salt config. Even if I could login, I'm not sure whether it makes sense to play around on a host which is actually administrated by somebody else.
  • For gathering statistics it would be good to know what kind of jobs we're talking about. Any kind of job with BACKEND=ipmi or BACKEND=svirt? One obviously needs some search criteria to find relevant jobs (e.g. via an SQL query) to get the numbers for the comparison and to re-trigger the jobs.
  • Judging by the creation date of the epic and jobs the problem was noticed around 2021-09-21. So we would likely need to boot into a snapshot a few weeks before that.

I suggest you check with @ph03nix - that was obvious to me so I failed to add it explicitly, sorry about that.

Please consider debugging on any other host than the one we maintain within o3 or osd as out of scope. I updated the description accordingly.

See
https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/99030#Steps-to-reproduce to find tests with the same symptom. By now it seems it's actually pretty hard to reproduce. Obviously waiting longer and longer makes it even harder to investigate. I suggest for anyone from the team to simply pick this up and clarify with @ph03nix about how this can be reproduced nowadays, what to do, where to conduct the "package rollback experiment", etc.

I have a way to reproduce the test, this is from yesterday I have run it on a up to date system. I can restart the test and it will fail again. To have access you can reach out to me on slack.

By now unfortunately it's not feasible anymore to simply try a rollback.

I used openqa-query-for-job-label poo#99030 and found no matches

I created https://github.com/os-autoinst/scripts/pull/119 and with that I could run a longer query going back for 90 days interval='90 day' openqa-query-for-job-label poo#99030:

as the current ticket applies to changes on OSD infrastructure only and we don't see the problem there anymore we should reject and continue with other tasks in the parent epic.
