QA:Testcase Anaconda updates.img via installation source

Jump to: navigation, search

Description

This test will verify that anaconda can download and apply a updates.img that is inside the remote installation source without extra input from the user. For help preparing updates.img, see Anaconda/Updates


How to test

  1. Prepare a local installation source by mirroring an existing online source.
  2. Make the installation source accessible over one of the supported network protocols (HTTP, FTP, NFS).
  3. Prepare a valid updates.img file. A suggested approach is to create a dummy updates.img with an empty file: 
    mkdir /tmp/updates
dd if=/dev/zero of=updates.img bs=1k count=1440
mke2fs updates.img
mount -o loop updates.img /tmp/updates
touch /tmp/updates/TESTING123
umount /tmp/updates

    A prebuilt updates.img is also available for download.

  4. Copy the updates.img into the images/ directory of your local installation source
  5. Boot the installer using the askmethod option at boot and select the protocol that will use the modified installation source where the updates.img was published. See Anaconda/Options for information on supported boot options.
  6. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda prepares the updates.img and copies its content to /tmp/updates/. To confirm this, check for the presence of the file /tmp/updates/TESTING123.
  2. Anaconda proceeds without error
