QA:AnacondaNewUI Advanced Storage Test Plan

Initial setup

• Prepare installation media available at {URL} according to instructions from Installation Guide
• Optionally install virtualization support in Fedora:

# yum -y install @virtualization
# service libvirtd start
# cp $FEDORA_ISO /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora.iso

• To start virtual machine you can use this command:

# virt-install --accelerate -n test-machine101 -r 1024 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/test-machine101.img -s 21 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora.iso

• You can destroy virtual machine right after execution of a test case with these commands:

# virsh destroy test-machine101
# virsh undefine --remove-all-storage test-machine101

This can not be run in virtual machine

1. You need a machine with bios/firmware RAID supported by dmraid or MD. Linux MD driver supports Intel Matrix RAID technology, dmraid supports following products:
   • asr  : Adaptec HostRAID ASR (0,1,10)
   • ddf1  : SNIA DDF1 (0,1,4,5,linear)
   • hpt37x  : Highpoint HPT37X (S,0,1,10,01)
   • hpt45x  : Highpoint HPT45X (S,0,1,10)
   • isw  : Intel Software RAID (0,1,5,01)
   • jmicron : JMicron ATARAID (S,0,1)
   • lsi  : LSI Logic MegaRAID (0,1,10)
   • nvidia  : NVidia RAID (S,0,1,10,5)
   • pdc  : Promise FastTrack (S,0,1,10)
   • sil  : Silicon Image(tm) Medley(tm) (0,1,10)
   • via  : VIA Software RAID (S,0,1,10)
   • dos  : DOS partitions on SW RAIDs
2. you need multiple hard drives connected to controller supporting RAID setup,
3. setup arbitary RAID level in your firmware.
