Introduction

This document provides an overview of test environment variables in osimage definition files. This test plan is intended for the use of xCAT FVT team.

The test is against xCAT version 2.14.2. The build of xCAT will be picked up from the xcat.org

The xcat inventory osimage design is under https://github.com/xcat2/xcat-inventory/pull/45

Affected attributes

The follow attributes in xcat osimage inventory file might include other files by #INCLUDE:xxxxx# :

package_selection. pkglist
package_selection. otherpkglist
filestosync
genimgoptions.postinstall

According to the attributes in osimage inventory file. The attributes in osimage definition could be tested

   pkglist
   otherpkglist
   synclists   
   postinstall

Test steps

create a yaml file

cat test.osimage.yaml
osimage:
  test.osimage:
    basic_attributes:

under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/testcase/xcat-inventory/templates/, create a directory to hold all the files for GITREPO and SWDIR

create correct files for synclist, otherpkglist, pkglist and postinstall
Place the packages under correct directory under ohterpkgdir, pkgdir
export environment variables.

[root@c910f03c05k21 rhels]# export GITREPO="/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/testcase/xcat-inventory/templates/environment/gitrepo"
[root@c910f03c05k21 rhels]# export SWDIR="/opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/testcase/xcat-inventory/templates/environment/swdir"

run xcat-inventory command

 xcat-inventory import -f test.osimage.yaml

run provision against the imported osimage
Check if the provision succeeded.
Check if all the packages are installed and postinstall script is run.
