Host related testcases in openbmc-test-automation

[George Keishing]

Jayashree,

	See if this info helps to get you started what you are looking for.

1. OBMC-CONSOLE - To connect the host via BMC, we are using
obmc-console-client to login the host and check the host conections.

Most of the test code uses the login  BMC/host, check connect via
REST/SSH/Ping to do the check on connection

You can look at this keyword used:
Example:

  -login to BMC and execute :   BMC Execute Command

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/bmc_ssh_utils.py#L12

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/redfish/extended/test_basic_ci.robot#L74

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/redfish/extended/test_basic_ci.robot#L96

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/redfish/managers/test_certificate.robot#L413
  etc...

  or simply use something like this:
    SSHLibrary.Open connection  ${bmc_ip}
    SSHLibrary.Login  ${openbmc_username}  ${openbmc_password}

  -login to Host and execute: Login To OS Host   /  OS Execute Command

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/syslib/utils_os.robot#L38

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/bmc_ssh_utils.py#L70

  etc.

  - obmc-console-client: Start SOL Console Logging / Stop SOL Console
Logging

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/common_utils.robot#L386

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/common_utils.robot#L342

  you can grep/serach around tests / redfish dir, you ll see where and how
they are used in the test suite


The test boot keywords to power on /off/ reboot etc are here,
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/boot_utils.robot

you'll notice those are used in test to drive the boot and the best part is
if you key in these test parameter from robot command line
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/resource.robot#L45


it will ensure, to login and check if the Host is up and running as part of
the boot keyword



2. HOST LOGGER - To handle and store host's console output data, such as
boot logs.

  You can use the above SOL keyword to collect the data for Host boot logs
  You can as well use IPMI SOL capabilities

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/ipmi_client.robot#L188

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/ipmi_client.robot#L204

  FFDC collects those data as well :
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc-test-automation/blob/master/lib/openbmc_ffdc.robot#L39





Thanks and Regards,
   George Keishing

Hi All,

I need to test the below features in openbmc-test-automation.
Is there any related testcases to verify those features?

1. OBMC-CONSOLE - To connect the host via BMC, we are using
obmc-console-client to login the host and check the host conections.
   (https://github.com/openbmc/obmc-console)

2. HOST LOGGER - To handle and store host's console output data, such as
boot logs.

Jayashree
