action #152887
Updated by okurz 5 months ago
## Motivation
According to #137258-2 there is a new machine which we should setup in FC Basement as openQA bare-metal test host, similar to what is done in #150830. We should take over this machine, mount it in FC Basement and bring it into OSD production as bare-metal test machine and ensure testing related squads follow-up with specific testing, e.g. just run the default scenario(s) on the specific host.
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1:** One new ARM server Ampere Altra Q32-17 is used in production in openqa.suse.de as bare-metal test host
* **AC2:** Our inventory management system is up-to-date
## Suggestions
* Pickup the machine from the Frankencampus "facilities office", bring it to FC Basement
* Come up with a good name, e.g. [squiddlydiddly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squiddly_Diddly) as we already have two similar machines squidward+squidbilly
* Mount and connect the machine
* Include the configuration, in particular network, in our inventory management system, e.g. in https://racktables.nue.suse.com/index.php?page=rack&rack_id=19186 on top of squidbilly
* Add machines bare-metal test machines in OSD, i.e. include in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls, e.g. with experimental worker classes, test, then make production worker classes
* Talk with testing squads about extending test scope covering this machine
* Ensure testing implementation is planned or completed accordingly
* Ensure our inventory management system is up-to-date Basement.
