action #159063
Updated by okurz 30 days ago
## Motivation
To prevent test VMs with insecure passwords running in the SUSE networks for #157537 we should setup an s390x qemu backend host within SUSE networks to replace the svirt setup relying on direct SSH to test VMs.
## Acceptance criteria
* **AC1:** At least on production s390x qemu openQA worker within OSD infrastructure
* **AC2:** Both s390zl19+s390zl1a are used in production
## Suggestions
* Wait for #158455 to have native s390x packages
* See https://confluence.suse.com/display/enginfra/LinuxONE+LPARs about available s390x machines
* Install on s390x test host or s390zl12+13 in parallel but don't try to break the existing libvirt based setup for now :) Alternative: Use new hosts s390zl19+s390zl1a
* Trigger test openQA jobs
* If successful create according tickets for testing squads to transfer their s390x KVM tests to the qemu backend
* Ensure both s390zl19+s390zl1a are used in production depending on the choice made regarding using s390zl12+13 or s390zl19+1a
