action #9482

Updated by RBrownSUSE over 8 years ago

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 

 1. Use a real hardware iSCSI array  
 2. 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 

 1. Add any backend support needed for QEMU to use ipxe/ibft 
 2. 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) 
 3. Write tests for installation via ibft (should be very similar to s390x tests as it will require Disk Activation) 
 4. Done
