xCAT Test Detail Section

Test environment preparation

• new OpenBMC python version rpm installation steps:

  • Use yum install gcc and python-devel.ppc64le:

    yum install -y gcc python-devel.ppc64le 
    

  • Install pip refer to https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/. Use pip to install gevent, greenlet, certifi, chardet, idna, urllib3, requests:

    pip install gevent greenlet certifi chardet idna urllib3 requests
    

  • Download and install xCAT-openbmc-py-2.13.10-snap201801250418.noarch.rpm:

    wget http://xcat.org/files/xcat/xcat-dep/2.x_Linux/beta/xCAT-openbmc-py-2.13.10-snap201801250418.noarch.rpm
    yum localinstall -y xCAT-openbmc-py-2.13.10-snap201801250418.noarch.rpm

Test cases

Automation cases

We have rpower automation cases in file case0 under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/testcase/rpower. After you install xcat-test, you will find the file.

[root@briggs01 rpower]# pwd
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/testcase/rpower
[root@briggs01 rpower]# ls
cases0  rpower_wrongpasswd_test.sh

The steps to run automation cases.

1. Install xcat-test on your testing nodes
2. Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
3. create rpower cases bundle file by yourself.

[root@briggs01 bundle]# pwd
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/bundle
[root@briggs01 bundle]# cat rpower.bundle
[root@briggs01 bundle]# cat rpower.bundle
rpower_off
rpower_stat
rpower_status
rpower_state
rpower_boot
rpower_on
rpower_reset
rpower_noderange
rpower_noderange_nodeps
rpower_err_noderange

3. Run following commands to start your test.

[root@briggs01 testcase]# XCATTEST_CN=mid05tor12cn05 xcattest -b rpower.bundle

4. Check the result under following directory

[root@briggs01 result]# pwd
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/result
[root@briggs01 result]# vi xcattest.log.20180204054757
