action #139115
Updated by okurz 6 months ago
## Motivation
Most PowerPC machines are being setup in PRG2 within #132140 and most machines could be discovered from the HMC. qa-power8-3 is meant for o3 and likely needs more collaboration with SUSE-IT Eng-Infra to bring the machine back into operation for o3 as the machine is a bare-metal installation so we would rely on ASM+IPMI (HMC **not** needed) and system ethernet in the o3 network.
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1:** qa-power8-3 openQA instances are able to pass o3 openQA jobs after the move to PRG2
## Suggestions
* Read #132140 about the generic setup and in particular the HMC and understand that we work with the machine bare-metal in so called "OPAL" mode here, similar to kerosene
* See current configuration and inventory management entry https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=object&tab=default&object_id=2352 for the machine
* Check if one of the specified interfaces show up in o3 dhcp logs (dnsmasq)
* Crosscheck mac address entries on racktables against the entries in dnsmasq DHCP static lease configuration
* Ensure we have access to qa-power8-3 manually again over ASM and IPMI as well as with verification openQA jobs on o3
* Inform users about the result
* Update racktables entry accordingly well as https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls
