Description of problem:

The storage test produces a traceback on RHEL4 U6 ia64:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./storage.py", line 456, in ?
    returnValue = test.do(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/share/hts/lib/hts/test.py", line 226, in do
    return self.run()
  File "./storage.py", line 413, in run
    swapLabel=self.getSwapLabel(swapdev)
  File "./storage.py", line 176, in getSwapLabel
    swapString = blkidCommand.getString().split(" ")
  File "/usr/share/hts/lib/hts/command.py", line 108, in getString
    line = self.output[0].strip()

Comment 4 Hien Nguyen 2008-07-01 19:18:34 UTC
Does that mean we cannot test HWCert on RHEL4.6 untill RedHat fixes the HTS test
suite ?

Is there any work-around ?


Comment 5 Greg Nichols 2008-07-02 02:06:26 UTC
We've been unable to reproduce this failure.  If you're seeing it, could you
supply the details?

Comment 6 Ben 2008-07-03 18:50:42 UTC
Linking to IT #189826 which contains details of a repro from IBM

Comment 9 YangKun 2008-07-04 11:06:35 UTC
fixed in hts-5.2-19

Comment 10 Hien Nguyen 2008-07-07 18:28:34 UTC
Can I have the patch of storage test fixed to run on HTS-5.2-16 to completed my
HWCert tests ?

Comment 11 YangKun 2008-07-09 02:03:24 UTC
Hi Hien,

hts-5.2-19 is not released yet, could you please try following steps as a
work-around for this issue:

  1) remove un-necessary disks from the system, meaning if a disk is not needed
to be tested, just dis-connect it;
  2) if you're using LVM, make sure every volume group has at least one swap
logical volume;
  3) if you're not using LVM, make sure every HD or every RAID volume has at
least one swap partition;
  4) make sure all swap partitions are active(you can see them all in /proc/swaps);
  5) run the command "hts clean" to clear all previous results(please backup
these result files if necessary);
  6) run the command "hts plan" to generate a new plan;
  7) run the command "hts certify --test storage"

Thanks

Comment 12 Hien Nguyen 2008-07-10 23:44:56 UTC
There are 3 hard disks in the systems I ran the test before: sda contains
RHEL4.6 GA OS and a swap partition; sdb, and sdc didn't have any partitions
created. As suggested in comment#11,

 I created a swap partition in each of sdb
and sdc and made them active and show up in /proc/swaps. Then the storage test
passed on three disks.

Can I use this work around results to submit for the HWCert ?

Hi Hien,

Yes, these work around results can be used for HwCert.

Fix will not be in HTS 5.2 R19.   It's currently in HTS 5.3 R1.
