Hello Fengguang,
I hope this email finds you well. I discussed the details of using one of your servers as a remote instance for KVM Qemu DUTs and it seems pretty straightforward. Here is a brief proposal to things rolling. Feedback is welcome.
Goals -------- * Expand LKFT's Aarch64 test capacity using KVM Qemu using Huawei server as a host system. * Provide a real workload to test of OpenEuler OS by using it as a host OS to host the Qemu KVM instances
Deliverables ----------------- * OpenEuler to setup and configure a dedicated Huawei server for remote access * OpenEuler to Install and configure its OS on the machine * OpenEuler to grant specific Linaro individuals access to the server with Sudo permissions (dispatcher container requires root access) * Linaro will install and configure a remote dispatcher that will be registered in the LKFT master instance * Linaro will initially use the server in its staging instance to allow issues be identified and resolved before moving it to the production instance * Linaro to move the server to LKFT's production instance
Assumptions ----------------- * OpenEuler community will administer the server and maintain it including keeping up with the dispatcher monthly updates (as part of LAVA's monthly releases) * Adequate storage and memory are provided to maximise the number of simultaneous Qemu instances * Network bandwidth is fast enough to download all the images and test artifacts needed to run the tests and report the results in a timely fashion
Risks ------- * Once the server is moved to the production instance of LKFT, uptime commitments from the OpenEuler project will be required. This can be discussed at a later date.
Thanks, anmar
