QA:Testcase Virtualization Guest pxeBoot

Description

This test case will test the PXE boot on guest.If you have a PXE boot server available, testing gPXE is pretty straightforward:

How to test

1. Make sure the guest can access the network which the PXE server is on, e.g. by configuring a bridge.
2. Define a guest which which will PXE boot from that network:

$> cat > netboot.xml <<EOF

<domain type='kvm'>

<name>netboot</name>

<memory>524288</memory>

<os>

<type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>

<boot dev='network'/>

</os>

<devices>

<emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>

<interface type='bridge'>

<source bridge='br0'/>

<model type='virtio'/>

</interface>

<graphics type='vnc'/>

</devices>

</domain>

EOF

Start and test the defined guest:

$> virsh define netboot.xml

$> virsh start netboot

$> virt-viewer netboot

Expected Results

1. Confirm that the guest has obtained a DHCP address and download the appropriate files via TFTP
2. No errors during booting
