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

  1. Make sure the guest can access the network which the PXE server is on, e.g. by configuring a bridge.
  2. 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
  3. Define, start and test the defined guest using the following commands 
      $> virsh define netboot.xml
  $> virsh start netboot
  $> virt-viewer netboot

Expected Results

  1. Confirm that the guest has obtained a DHCP address and download the appropriate files via TFTP
  2. No errors during booting
