Test Design of xcat-inventory user case
The reference document is xcat-inverntory man page
Scenario
Scenario 1
-
Define types of nodes first, export configuration to file “inventory_test.yaml”.
-
Modify inventory_test.yaml as below:
- Add nodes (openbmc controlled PowerLE servers, IPMI controlled Power servers(commented out), X86_64 servers(commented out))
- Delete nodes
- Modify nodes' definition
- Modify configuration of site or other table
-
Import configuration file (modified).
Scenario 2
-
Copy configuration template to file “inventory_test.yaml”.
-
Add all definition needed.(openbmc controlled PowerLE servers, IPMI controlled Power servers(commented out), X86_64 servers(commented out), PowerKVM based VM nodes, KVM based X86_64 VM nodes(commented out))
-
Import configuration file.
Test Steps:
-
Install xCAT
-
Install xcat-inventory
-
Export configuration or copy template to “inventory_test.yaml”.
-
Add/Modify/Delete configuration.
-
Import configuration file and check result.
Node types plan to test:
openbmc controlled PowerLE servers, IPMI controlled Power servers(commented out), X86_64 servers(commented out), PowerKVM based VM nodes, KVM based X86_64 VM nodes(commented out)
Table plan to test:
site openbmc passwd networks nics ...
