What to test?
Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on widespread testing of Fedora Virtualization in general, with a particular emphasis on some:
- KVM PCI Device Assignment
- KVM and QEMU Merge
- SVirt Mandatory Access Control
- Improved Graphical Console
- VNC SASL Authentication
Who's available
The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...
- Development - Mark McLoughlin, Rich Jones, Dan Berrange
- Quality Assurance - James Laska
Prerequisite for Test Day
You will primarily be concerned with testing Fedora 11 as a virtualization host. You will need:
- A fully updated F11 rawhide machine.
- Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V). If not, you can still help with testing QEMU support.
- Intel VT-d or AMD IOMMU support if you are testing device assignment.
- At least one guest image installed before the test day.
- Up to 10-20Gb free disk space. Guest images take up a lot of space.
- DVD ISOs downloaded for Fedora 8 (for kvm-autotest) and the F11 Preview Release (for testing F11 guest installs)
How to test?
Jump on IRC, pick some areas to test from the table below, add yourself to the table and file bugs as you see them.
Coming soon ...
Stay tuned for test cases for each of the test areas.
