ocp-diag-autoval-ssd

ocp-diag-autoval-ssd is a collection of SSD tests using the ocp-diag-autoval test framework.

Overview

At a high level, the following steps are necessary to install, build, and use autoval

1. Installation
2. Environment Setup
3. Executing Tests

Installation

This installation steps are a work in progress. They will be improved/simplified in the future.

1. Clone the following repos:

$ git clone https://github.com/opencomputeproject/ocp-diag-autoval.git
$ git clone https://github.com/opencomputeproject/ocp-diag-autoval-ssd.git

2. Create a virtual environment:

$ python -m venv env
$ source ./env/bin/activate
$ pip install build

3. Build and install ocptv-autoval

$ cd ocp-diag-autoval
$ python -m build
$ pip install ./dist/ocptv_autoval-0.0.1.tar.gz

4. Build and install ocptv-autoval-ssd

$ cd ocp-diag-autoval-ssd
$ python -m build
$ mkdir -p ~/bin/ocp-diag-autoval-ssd/
$ pip install --no-deps ./dist/ocptv_autoval_ssd-0.0.1.tar.gz --target ~/bin/ocp-diag-autoval-ssd

Environment Setup

There are two parts to environment setup:

1. Creating and maintaining a repo to host RPMs and tools needed by autoval tests
2. Creating a site_settings.json file.

Creating and maintaining a repo

Local repo hosting is required because many tests require specific RPMs in order to run (e.g. fio, fio-synth) and automatically download and install them at test setup time. We strongly recommend naming the repo autoval-tools (as it aligns with default configuration defined in site_settings.json).

Creating a site settings file

Before running tests for the first time, you'll need to create a site_settings.json file. Here is an example with some basic defaults.

{
    "control_server_logdir": "/autoval/logs/",
    "control_server_tmpdir": "/tmp/autoval/",
    "dut_logdir": "/autoval/logs/",
    "dut_tmpdir": "/tmp/autoval/",
    "resultsdir": "/autoval/results/",
    "ssh_key_path": ["/USERNAME/.ssh/id_rsa"], # Replace contents with a path to your public SSH key
    "plugin_config_path" : "plugins/plugin_config.json",
    "repository_dir": "/autoval/repository/",
    "test_utils_plugin_config_path" : "plugins/test_utils_plugin_config.json",
    "cleanup_dut_logdirs" : false,
    "yum_repo": "autoval-tools"
}

See rpm_repo_hosting.md for detailed instructions on how to configure a DNF repo on the test server.

Executing Tests

Host configuration file

Before executing tests, you need to create a hosts.json file. The {-c|--config} CONFIG autoval option is used to specify DUT configuration in well-formed JSON. This configuration contains the following information:

• hostname: IP address of the host
• oob_addr: IP address of the BMC
• username: Name of the host user
• password: Password for the host user
• oob_username: Name of the OOB user
• oob_password: Password for the OOB user

Example:

{
    "hosts": [
        {
            "hostname": "10::CD97:E10F:FE82:9A1C",
            "username": "root",
            "password": "password",
            "oob_addr": "10::CD97:E10F:FE82:9A19",
            "oob_username": "root",
            "oob_password": "password"
        }
    ]
}

Test Execution

Now that you have a hosts.json file, you can run a test as follows.

$ cd ~/bin/ocp-diag-autoval-ssd
$ export PYTHONPATH=.
$ env SITE_SETTINGS="$(cat path/to/site_settings.json)" \
    python -m autoval.autoval_test_runner autoval_ssd.tests.nvme_cli.nvme_cli \
    --config ./hosts.json \
    --test_control ~/bin/ocp-diag-autoval-ssd/autoval_ssd/tests/nvme_cli/control.json
