Testing-acceptance

Acceptance

The tests where done on a ovirt 3.3.1 installation. With 2 hypervisors enabled.

Test Case Result
Create a new VM. Success. oVirt selects hypervisor and boots vm.
Create a new VM from template Success. oVirt selects hypervisor and boots vm.
Create a new VM, start with “run once” and hostname enabled.  
Host name should be changed. Success. But cloud-init should be installed on the template
Restart vdsmd service without losing ping to vms Success. No Ping was lost
Restart ovirt-management service without losing ping on vms Success. No Ping was lost
Move Disk from StoragePool A to StoragePool B. Success, but VM needs to be shut down for this.
Move VM to other hypervisor for maintenance on hypervisor  
without losing ping on vms Success
Pull the plug out hypervisor Success. VM is auto moved to other hypervisor (HA Active).
VM is unreachable for approx 2m29s. Hypervisor comes back online after approx. 10 min.  
Unplanned shutdown of hypervisor. VM Should move to other Hypervisor. Minimum downtime Success. VM is auto moved to other hypervisor (HA Active).
VM is unreachable for approx 2m29s. Hypervisor comes back online after approx. 10 min.  
Restore folder from backup using NetBackup Success. No Issues
Server Crash. Completely reinstalled and re-added to ovirt. Time taken: +/- 1u30
Server-crash –> VM’s are migrated to another hypervisor. Success. VM is moved to other Hypervisor. It shutsdown for a moment
but boots up immediately (HA option needs to be enabled)  
Disable 1 Fiber path on the host. Vms should still work. Success. No Downtime. Everything stays up and running
Disable 2 Fiber Paths. Vms should be migrated to the other Hypervisor Fail. We had to intervene and move the vms manually
to the other Hypervisor or restore at least one fibre path.  

The last test we did with removing the 2 Fiber channels to the hypervisor… This will put the VM’s in a pause state. This is the reason:

  the KVM team advised this would be an unsafe migration. iirc, since IO can be stuck at kernel level,  <br />pending write to the storage, which would cause corruption if storage is recovered while the VM is now running on another machine.
