I have a slight concern regarding CPC images. we currently produce ppcle64 images and test in scalingstack. Since ppcel64 is a supported arch, if those tests fail, no arches will be released.
if scalingstack does not have access to P9 machines, then Jammy testing will continuously fail. Before making this change, can we ensure we have test infra available for use, in an automated fashion, that is supported by IS in an openstack deployment? Or are plans right now only going to be in the MAAS powered labs? If so, we'll have to remove ppcel64 testing entirely from our blocking matrix, which makes it truly a "best effort" architecture ----------------------- Dr. John Chittum Engineering Manager, Canonical, CPC team On Fri, Dec 10, 2021 at 7:57 AM Frank Heimes <frank.hei...@canonical.com> wrote: > Just to close the look (based on the MM chat): > > - Patricia released 'bobone' - thx Patricia > - bobone is resource-wise more powerful that the existing P8 system for > ISO testing, so it should be good > - from there 10.25.200.31 can be (surprisingly) reached - so no need for > an RT > > We'll put a new dedicated ISO testing system on the top of the list in > case new P9 loaners arrive ... > > Thx, Frank > > On Thu, Dec 9, 2021 at 5:34 PM Frank Heimes <frank.hei...@canonical.com> > wrote: > >> Ok, so like mentioned in MM, the interim solution is to provide you one >> system from the PowerMAAS pool (with sufficient) resources. >> And once we got more P9 loaners, one of these will be delegated to >> you/Server-team for ISO testing. >> >> Next steps: >> - I'll identify one system >> - will check the network connectivity, if it's possible to >> reach 10.25.200.31 (what is probably not the case) >> - if it's not possible I'll open an RT and ask for routing adjustments >> >> I'll keep you in the loop ...
