QA:Testcase Virtualization Driver Load

Description

This test is intended to test driver load/unload on virtual machine

How to test

1. boot the guests and determine the driver for the guest nics: driver

   ethtool -i eth0 | grep driver | awk '{print $2}'

1. download and install prozilla in the guests : may need libncurses5 ( libncurses5-dev )

   wget http://10.66.70.67:3000/attachments/52/prozilla-1.3.7.3.tar.gz

   tar -zxf prozilla-1.3.7.3.tar.gz

   cd prozilla-1.3.7.3

   ./configure

   make install

2. open a guest session and run the following scripts

   while true; do

   ifconfig eth0 down

   sleep 0.1

   modprobe -r driver

   modprobe driver

   ifconfig eth0 up

   sleep 0.1

   done

   <pre>

3. in the meantime, open a guest session and download the the kernel archives from lkml.org<pre>proz -k 10 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.31.5.tar.bz2
4. kill the scripts
5. tar the kernel archives

   tar -zxf linux-2.6.31.5.tar.bz2

Expected Results

1. if any errors during the extracting, fail the whole testcase
