## Observation Please see https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/31375 #57, #61 for details. [openqaworker2:25](https://openqa.suse.de/admin/workers/1088) makes each time trouble and first_boot failed if it runs on osd. ## Investigation #### Hypotheses - **H1** <s>Issues Issues caused by IPMI SUT machine</s> - **Rejected by E1-1** machine - **H2** Issues caused by IPMI WORKER machine (jump host) - **H3** Issues caused by openQA test module **first_boot** #### Experiments - **E1-1** **E1** Install SLE15-SP1 SLE manually on that IPMI machine mimicking openQA (ipmitool). - **R1-1** Possible to perform the installation. Some impediments verified typing linuxrc parameters on PXE boot menu interacting though SOL. - **E2-1** Install SLE15-SP1 manually from openqaworker2 (openQA-worker, jump host). (in progress) openQA. ## Suggestions * Conduct a proper statistical analysis on this specific machine and find out what component fails most often. For this the special worker class [64bit-ipmi_disabled_investigate_poo41480](https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/merge_requests/120/diffs) can be used together with our approach for [statistical investigation](https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqatests/wiki/Wiki#Statistical-investigation) * Identify differences of that worker to others and see if the worker/machine/backend/test is special * Come up with fix in code or settings or a decision in what regard the hardware is broken/unusable and must be decommissioned/repaired (beware: costly decision!)
