action #132140

Updated by okurz 6 months ago

## Motivation 
 Most PowerPC machines are being move to PRG2 with the help of IBM and BuildOps. We need to support the process and help to bring back the machines to be able to use them as part of openQA as well as non-openQA QE work. 

 ## Acceptance criteria 
 * **AC1:** All PowerPC machines referenced in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls are usable after the move to PRG2 

 ## Suggestions 
 * *DONE* Follow PowerPC related moving coordination as referenced in #100455#Important-documents 
 * *DONE* Wait for Eng-Infra/BuildOPS/Power-owners to inform us about the availability of the network and machines 
 * *DONE* Wait for mgriessmeier to come back to us regarding if we will have a HMC or a VM provided by Eng-Infra for us to install (how would we install on a VM if they can't give us access to osd/o3 for years?) 
 * *DONE* Ensure we can connect over HMC 
 * *DONE* If necessary we can also try to setup our own HMC 
 * Update HMC details in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls where necessary 
 * Ensure we have access to machines manually as well as with verification openQA jobs, both for o3+osd 
 * Inform users about the result 

 ## Rollback actions 
 * Remove silence "alertname=Queue: State (SUSE) - too few jobs executed alert" https://stats.openqa-monitor.qa.suse.de/alerting/silences 

 ## Out of scope 
 * non-openQA machines, see #139109
