Description
This test case will test the PXE boot on guest.If you have a PXE boot server available, testing gPXE is pretty straightforward
How to test
- Make sure the guest can access the network which the PXE server is on, e.g. by configuring a bridge.
- Define a guest which which will PXE boot from that network:
- $> cat > netboot.xml <<EOF
- <domain type='kvm'>
- <name>netboot</name>
- <memory>524288</memory>
- <os>
- <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
- <boot dev='network'/>
- </os>
- <devices>
- <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-kvm</emulator>
- <interface type='bridge'>
- <source bridge='br0'/>
- <model type='virtio'/>
- </interface>
- <graphics type='vnc'/>
- </devices>
- </domain>
- EOF
- Start and test the defined guest:
- $> virsh define netboot.xml
- $> virsh start netboot
- $> virt-viewer netboot
Expected Results
- Confirm that the guest has obtained a DHCP address and download the appropriate files via TFTP
- No errors during booting
