Test Design of rvitals
python version
### Introduction
This document provides an overview of test of command rvitals that is conducted on the IBM Witherspoon Physical Machine. This test plan is intended for the use of xCAT FVT team.
The test is against xCAT version 2.13.11. The build of xCAT will be picked up from the xcat.org
Overview of xCAT FVT
Test Software Requirements
Operating System :Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4
Other Softwares

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
- enable OpenBMC python version:
export XCAT_OPENBMC_PYTHON=YES
- Use yum install gcc and python-devel.ppc64le:
Test cases
Automation cases
We have rvitals automation cases in file cases0 under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/testcase/rvitals. After you install xcat-test, you will find the file.
[root@briggs01 rvitals]# pwd
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/testcase/rvitals
[root@briggs01 rvitals]# ls
cases0 openbmctest.sh
The steps to run automation cases.
- Install xcat-test on your testing nodes
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- create rvitals cases bundle file by yourself.
[root@briggs01 bundle]# pwd
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/bundle
[root@briggs01 bundle]# cat rvitals.bundle
rvitals_h
rvitals_v
rvitals_errorcommand
rvitals_temp
rvitals_voltage
rvitals_all
rvitals_noderange_err
rvitals_wattage
rvitals_fanspeed
rvitals_power
rvitals_altitude
- Run following commands to start your test.
[root@briggs01 testcase]# XCATTEST_CN=mid05tor12cn05 xcattest -b rvitals.bundle
- Check the result under following directory
[root@briggs01 result]# pwd
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/result
[root@briggs01 result]# vi xcattest.log.20180204054757
###Manual cases (Notice: by 2.13.11, the automation cases cover all the options in following help information. FVT doesn't need to run manual cases at the moment)
The test cases is given according to the rvitals' help information for machines managed by openbmc.
OpenPOWER (OpenBMC) specific: rvitals noderange [temp|voltage|wattage|fanspeed|power|leds|altitude|all]
Test case 1
Check if rvitals -h or --help could display help information for openbmc.
- Run rvitals -h or rvitals --help
- Expected output should be help information.
Test case 2
Check if rvitals noderange temp could display the machine's temperature.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange temp
- Expected output should be the node's temperature information.
Test case 3
Check if rvitals noderange voltage could display the machine's voltage.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange voltage
- Expected output should be the node's power supply and VRM voltage readings.
Test case 4
Check if rvitals noderange wattage could display the machine's wattage information.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange wattage
- Expected output should be the node's wattage information.
Test case 5
Check if rvitals noderange fanspeed could display the machine's fanspeed information.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange fanspeed
- Expected output should be the node's fanspeed information.
Test case 6
Check if rvitals noderange power could display the machine's power information.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange power
- Expected output should be the node's power information.
Test case 7
Check if rvitals noderange leds could display the machine's leds information.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange leds
- Expected output should be the node's leds information.
Test case 8
Check if rvitals noderange altitude could display the machine's altitude information.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange altitude
- Expected output should be the node's altitude information.
Test case 9
Check if rvitals noderange all could display the machine's all information.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange all
- Expected output should be the node's all information includes power, voltage ...etc.
Test case 10
Check if rvitals noderange false_value could give warning message.
- Define node. The node's definition should have bmc's ip. BMC should work correctly.
- Run rvitals noderange false_value.
- Expected output should be warning message.
