Test Design of rcons based goconserver

Function Verification Test

Scenario 0 - Installation and basic setup

  • Install goconserver along with xCAT, and make it running.
    • Shutdown conserver
    • Run makegocons

Scenario 1 - Normal console functionality

Test if the console can work normally in the following conditions

  • Console against OpenPOWER machine via OpenBMC
    • Create a node definition with openbmc as its cons attribute
    • Run makegocons against this node
    • Run rcons against this node
  • Console against OpenPOWER machine via IPMI
    • Create a node definition with ipmi as its cons attribute
    • Run makegocons against this node
    • Run rcons against this node* Console against KVM guest via ssh to KVM host
  • Console against x86-64 machine via IPMI
    • Create a node definition with ipmi as its cons attribute
    • Run makegocons against this node
    • Run rcons against this node
  • Console against IBM PowerVM LPAR via HMC
    • Create a node definition with hmc as its cons attribute
    • Run makegocons against this node
    • Run rcons against this node

Scenario 2 - Recovery

  • Restart a compute node
  • Restart the OpenBMC on a OpenPOWER machine with OpenBMC
  • Restart the BMC on a OpenPOWER machine with IPMI
  • Disconnect the network between the console server and the OpenBMC/BMC

Scenario 3 - Multiplex

  • Multiple user connect to the console of the same compute node at the same time

Scenario 4 - Stability

  • Leave a compute node with no console outputs for a quite long period of time, say 10 days
