🔗 QA/TestCases/UpdatesImgViaHttp
🔗 Description
This test will verify that anaconda can download the requested updates.img file using a HTTP url.
🔗 Steps To Reproduce
- Prepare a valid kickstart file and copy to a httpd server accessible by your installation [1]
- A suggested approach is to create a dummy updates.img with a 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
- Boot the installer while specifying the http URL for the updates image. For example
updates=http://server/path/to/updates.img
- Proceed to stage#2
🔗 Expected Results
- Anaconda prepares the updates.img and copies it's content to /tmp/updates/
- Anaconda proceeds to stage#2 without error
