Associated release criterion
This test case is associated with the Fedora_41_Beta_Release_Criteria#hardware-and-firmware-raid 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 firmware RAID device works properly. Testing on bare metal (not in a virtual machine) is preferred for this test case.

Setup

  1. Prepare a test system with a working firmware RAID 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. On the Installation Destination screen, click Add a disk... under Specialized & Network Disks
  3. On the Firmware RAID tab, select all detected firmware RAID volumes
  4. Partition as you like, but bugs in partitioning that are not related to the firmware RAID 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 firmware RAID 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 firmware RAID device(s).
