Description

This test case tests whether the development release can boot and install inside a VMware virtual machine. Fedora cannot and does not guarantee that this will be the case; this test is purely informational (it helps us at least know whether we're working on VMware, and document the problems if not). Failures of this test should only be reported as Fedora bugs if you are sure the fault lies with Fedora and not VMware.

Setup

  1. Install VMware Workstation on your host (the host can be Fedora, another Linux distribution, Windows, or macOS - for macOS, use VMware Fusion). The procedure for this is outside the scope of this test case

How to test

  1. Create a VMware virtual machine and boot the release to be tested in it (it is probably best to use one of the release-blocking images, e.g. Workstation live). In general use default settings, but you may need to increase the RAM allocation from 2G to 4G
  2. Proceed with normal installation (refer to QA:Testcase_Boot_default_install)

Expected Results

  1. The installer successfully boots
  2. The installer is able to activate and use the virtual network device(s)
  3. The installer is able to activate and use the virtual storage device(s)
  4. The install completes successfully
  5. The system reboots successfully, recognizing filesystems created on the virt device(s)
