Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Basic_Release_Criteria#storage-interfaces release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion. If so, please file a bug and nominate it as blocking the appropriate milestone, using the blocker bug nomination page.


Description

This test case verifies that installing on a SAS device works properly. Testing on bare metal (not in a virtual machine) is preferred for this test case. For more information on serial-attached SCSI storage devices, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_attached_SCSI.

Setup

  1. Prepare a test system with a working SAS storage device of sufficient size for a Fedora install, and a Fedora installation medium.

How to test

  1. Boot the installer using any available means
  2. Proceed to the installer's main screen, making sensible choices, and enter the Installation Destination screen
  3. On the Installation Destination screen, select your test SAS device as the target disk
  4. Partition as you like, but bugs in partitioning that are not related to the SAS device type are outside the scope of this test
  5. Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options
  6. Boot the installed system

Expected Results

  1. All installable SAS devices are successfully detected by installer and are available for partitioning.
  2. Partitions are created and formatted properly.
  3. Install completes successfully.
  4. System boots successfully recognizing filesystems created on the SAS device(s).
