Updated by JRivrain over 5 years ago

Motivation 
 ---------- 

 Currently There are several cases where we cannot switch to a [install shell](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2755766#step/installation_overview/3) when we are in an [installation](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2755766#step/installation_overview/6), however being able to switch to a console can be very useful.  


 Acceptance criteria 
 ------------------- 

 select_console allows us to switch between install_shell and installation in all cases including [ssh remote install](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2726222), [vnc remote install](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2726366), [hyperv](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2742726) 


 Suggestion 
 ---------- 

 - Make sure to enable ssh in bootloader on the guest 
 - Open another TTY on the remote controller, from which we open a new ssh session to the guest. This should work in all particular cases. 

 Further details 
 --------------- 

 **This is a change in os_autoinst. select_console is a function in testapi.pm.** 
 The way to swith between consoles is: 
 select_console 'install-shell'; 
 select_console 'installation';
