Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

Who's available

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Prerequisite for Test Day

  • Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V).
  • Up to 10-20Gb free disk space. Guest images take up a lot of space.

Note you can install the OpenStack Folsom packages on either Fedora 17 or Fedora 18, depending on your interest in the base operating system.

Fedora 17

Fedora 18

Please workarounds to common issues here:

    • Video doesn't work in a VM unless video type is set to 'vga' #848930


Hardware Requirements
You can do basic testing of OpenStack in a virtual machine, with specific config noted below

How to test?

Follow the steps below to prepare the machine, then follow each of the test cases in order.

Configure sudo

Add your account to sudoers, which can be done from a root prompt like: 

 (umask 337; echo "$USER ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/testday)

Update your machine

Make sure you have all the current updates for it installed: 

 sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing clean all
 sudo yum update -y

Optionally Load nbd

If you don't perform this optional step, then libguestfs will be used to inject files into qcow2 images. Note however that is slower, especially if testing openstack within a VM 

sudo modprobe nbd
echo nbd | sudo tee -a /etc/modules-load.d/nbd.conf

Put SELinux into Permissive Mode

While SELinux mostly works with OpenStack services there are a few issues 

sudo sed -i 's/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=permissive/' /etc/selinux/config
sudo setenforce permissive

Please do note any AVC _denials_ you see in /var/log/audit/audit.log and file them in bugzilla, and update this list:

Install and setup all Openstack services on a single node

 sudo wget http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/openstack/openstack-folsom/fedora-openstack-folsom.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-openstack-folsom.repo
 sudo yum install openstack-utils

So now the yum repositories are in place as is the openstack-demo-install script. This script will install all OpenStack services on a single node, including: nova, glance, quantum, cinder, swift, keystone, dashboard. Note it configures and enables all but the quantum service at this time: 

 sudo openstack-demo-install

Note this is a major test in itself, so please record any issues encountered.

Setup OpenStack volumes

The OpenStack volume service provides persistent block level storage to instances. This is a commonly used service, so please enable using QA:Testcase_Create_Cinder_Volumes

Install and setup Quantum on a single node

As an option, you can replace the network manager internal to the OpenStack Nova project with Quantum. To enable follow QA:Testcase_Quantum_V2#Setup

Test Cases

Swift functionality

  1. Upload and download files
  2. Upload Segmented File
  3. Test Auditor/Replicator
  4. Add Storage Device to ring

Nova boot-from-volume

  1. Create and boot from a bootable volume
  2. Create an image from a running volume-backed instance

Quantum tests

  1. Configure and use a network topology in Quantum
