[Starlingx-discuss] [MultiOS] Maintenance enabling on openSUSE - first steps and errors

Tue Oct 8 16:24:23 UTC 2019

Thanks Victor and Al, that's very useful.

Just to let you know, I completed the experiment I described, you can see the results in my repo [1]. 

Most of the errors are because of the missing platform.conf. As I am blocked right now I'll be working
with Dominig to do the porting of the Kickstarts to AutoYaST.

Thanks!

Marcela

    Nearly all those files are written through  ansible, stx-puppet and sysinv as part of provisioning steps before maintenance can run.

    /etc/platform/platform.conf  is written through puppet here

    The /var/run/.goenabled  is written when this line is executed

    Have you try dnf provides  /etc/platform/platform.conf
    DNF has this feature:
    https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html#provides-command-label

    > Also, I don’t know what are the expected results of each service. Is it enough to get an exit status of 0?

    I don't think that exit status is good enough, I think we need to work
    on a test plan for each flock service. Originally each service should
    be documented about what are the expected functions it should perform.
    Based on that anyone could develop the test case. We can work on a
    test plan for the flock services as part of R4 but not sure if is
    already in the plan or not
