LTS - local testing server SUT - system under tests

Example SUT IP address: 192.168.244.7

1. Install Ansible
   yum --enablerepo=epel install ansible

2. Add key
   ssh-keygen -t rsa

3. Add a key to SUT, a comma after the IP address is required
   ansible all -i 192.168.244.7, -m authorized_key -a "user=root key='{{ lookup('file', '/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub') }}' path=/root/.ssh/authorized_keys manage_dir=no" --ask-pass

4. Check connection with SUT, comma after IP address is required
   ansible all -i 192.168.244.7, -m ping -u root

Clone repository cd ~ && git clone "https://[email protected]/a/hardware-certification"

Create your test directory in the ~/hardware-certification/tests folder, for example example.

Test directory structure for automated tests

|- tests/example
|-- roles
|--- main.yml - Ansible tasks
|-- README.md - instructions for working with the test when manually launched
|-- run_test.sh - script to run the test

Test directory structure for interactive tests

|- tests/example
|-- step1.yml - sub playbook with interactive prompts
|-- step2.yml - sub playbook with interactive prompts
|-- stepx.yml - sub playbook with interactive prompts
|-- README.md - instructions for working with the test when manually launched

Each automated test should store test results and utility output in a file name.log in the root directory of the repository ~/hardware-certification/logs/. You can get the folder path from a variable {{ lts_logs_dir }}.

Add your automated tasks that perform the test to the ~/hardware-certification/automated.yml file and interactive playbook to the ~/hardware-certification/interactive.yml file located in the root of the repository.

Each test must be marked with a tag, for example tags: test_example

Add your test settings to the ~/hardware-certification/vars.yml file if required

To run all automated tests:

• Run tests on the LTS, comma after IP address is required
  ansible-playbook -i 192.168.244.7, automated.yml

• Run Phoronix tests on the LTS
  ansible-playbook -i 192.168.244.7, automated.yml --tags phoronix

To run all interactive tests: Run tests on the LTS, comma after IP address is required
ansible-playbook -i 192.168.244.7, interactive.yml

Run command:
ansible-playbook -c local -i 127.0.0.1, automated.yml

Tests can be configured via ~/hardware-certification/vars.yml file.

• lts_ip - LTS IP address
• lts_tests_dir - LTS test folder
• lts_logs_dir - LTS logs folder
• sut_ip - SUT IP address
• sut_tests_dir - SUT logs folder
• test_cpu['duration'] - stop stress test after T seconds. You can specify time units in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or years with the s, m, h, d, or y suffix. If the timeout is 0, the test will run forever.
• test_network['duration'] - Test duration in seconds
• test_network['speed'] - Target network test speed in Mbps
• test_network['device'] - Testing a specific network device
• test_raid['duration'] - Test duration in seconds
• test_ltp['suites'] - Specify PATTERN to only run test cases which match PATTERN. By default all tests.
• test_phoronix['suites'] - Define test cases
• test_phoronix['folder'] - Specify a folder for installing tests and storing results

You can run automated tests by tag. For example:
ansible-playbook -i 192.168.244.7, automated.yml --tags cpu

Available tags:

• logs_folder - create logs folder
• tests_copy - copy ~/hardware-certification/tests folder from LTS to SUT
• tests_cleanup - remove tests folder from SUT
• containers - test
• cpu - test
• hw_detection - test
• pxe - test
• kvm - test
• network - test
• raid - test
• phoronix - test suits (can only be run by tag)
• ltp - tests (can only be run by tag)
• cllimits - test suits for lve/cagefs checkers (CL only)

Interactive tests can't be run separately.

The ansible output will display information about each test. If there are errors, the tests will be colored red.

Summary information will display the test result. Notice the ignored=0 value. If it is > 0, the test has failed.
The value of failed is always 0, due to skipping failed tests for further sequential execution.
Example: 127.0.0.1 : ok=9 changed=7 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=1

• Roles work in the context of the SUT, to run a command on the LTS, you need to run commands using local_action.
  Run command on the LTS: local_action
Run command on the SUT: command, sh, etc.
• Before starting testing, you need to request information about the hardware. For example, it is not necessary to run a RAID test everywhere.
• Notify in advance of the need to prepare the number of devices equal to the number of USB ports on the server to run the USB test.
• Testing can be delayed, it is recommended to use the screen utility. For example screen -L -S hctest
• For phoronix test, you need more than 100 gigabytes of space, by default it installs dependencies in the /root folder, to change the section, you need to change the test_phoronix['folder'] in the vars.yml file.
