Description yanfu,wang 2011-11-17 06:37:13 UTC

Description of problem:
If workflow-kernel could submit multihost test by command line?
And I knew workflow-simple have --servers=SERVERS and --clients=CLIENTS options, so could let workflow-kernel support that way by command line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -qa|grep beaker
beaker-redhat-0.1.42-1.el6eso.noarch
beakerlib-1.3-7.el6.noarch
beakerlib-redhat-1-5.el6.noarch
beaker-client-0.7.3-4.el6eso.noarch
beaker-redhat-repo-0.2-6.el6eso.noarch
beaker-0.7.3-4.el6eso.noarch


Steps to Reproduce:
Seems can't use workflow-kernel to submit multihost test job by command line and specify hosts to be involved in multihost test for servers and clients.
I have to modify XML by manual.

Actual results:
can't use workflow-kernel to submit multihost test job by command line.

Expected results:
use workflow-kernel to submit multihost test job by command line.

Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.

Bill, assigning this one back to you for the moment. How would you like to handle the maintenance of the workflow-kernel subcommand now? It's there for the kernel team, so perhaps it makes sense for you to have a a direct say in any additions?

Comment 3 Bill Peck 2012-10-24 13:38:31 UTC

The kernel group who wrote and maintains this workflow feel that this feature would not be good.  The kernel workflow produces a large matrix and adding these options would multiply that already large matrix even more.

Comment 4 yanfu,wang 2012-10-29 06:16:01 UTC

So could I file it as a feature?
