patch for updating FV tests to use KVM images none

Description Greg Nichols 2013-11-26 14:35:39 UTC 
Description of problem:

FV testing (fv_core, fv_network, and fv_storage) of RHEL7 should use a RHEL 6.5 guest in the form of a KVM image.   The data image (hwcertData.img) should also be updated to run hwcert-client 1.6.5-25.1 (GA) in the guest.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

hwcert-client-1.7.0

patch for updating FV tests to use KVM images

This patch makes the following changes to support KVM/RHEL6.5 images running hwcert-client 1.6.5-25.1:

- Instead of using virt-install --import to create a configuration XML file, it downloads it as it does both the guest image and data image.

- The download is done via RHEL7-specific subdirectories, so images can be separate from other certification testing.

- The fv_network test now uses the new 100MegEthernet test from hwcert-client 1.6.5-25.1.
Comment 3 Greg Nichols 2013-12-03 15:34:08 UTC 
In addition to the above patch, new guest files are staged at:

http://hwcert.boston.devel.redhat.com/hwcert/fv-images/RHEL7/

This images use the same scheme of having date-stamped files with symbolic links.

The guest image file was created using the proceedure in the readme and kickstart files (see the patch).   The data image contains hwcert-client 1.6.5-25.1.   The xml configuration file was created via the process of creating the guest image.
