What to test?[edit]
Today's instalment 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[edit]
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, Chris Ward, Michal Marciniszyn
Documentation[edit]
Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]
You will primarily be concerned with testing Fedora 11 as a virtualization host. You will need:
- A fully updated Fedora 11 Rawhide machine.
- Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V). If unavailable, you can still help with testing QEMU support.
- 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.
- See test areas below for area specific requirements
How to test?[edit]
Jump on IRC, pick some areas to test from the table below, add yourself to the table and file bugs as you see them.
