Description of problem: While running a job where same machine was targeted to install various distros and cancelling some of these recipes, beaker got into state where it powered on system before it set up netboot for next recipe. Entries such as "Distro Tree Provision" and "configure_netboot" are missing entirely in activity logs: Scheduler 2015-11-11 06:32:05 +01:00 Power off Completed Scheduler 2015-11-11 06:32:00 +01:00 Power clear_netboot Completed alemay Scheduler 2015-11-11 06:31:48 +01:00 User Returned alemay Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:33 +01:00 Power off Completed Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:27 +01:00 Power clear_netboot Completed Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:27 +01:00 Power on Completed alemay Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:25 +01:00 User Reserved alemay alemay Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:20 +01:00 User Returned alemay Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:19 +01:00 Power off Completed Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:14 +01:00 Power configure_netboot Completed Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:13 +01:00 Power clear_logs Completed Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:12 +01:00 Power off Completed Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:07 +01:00 Power clear_netboot Completed alemay Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:41:04 +01:00 Distro Tree Provision Fedora-20 s390x alemay Scheduler 2015-11-11 05:40:54 +01:00 User Reserved alemay 1. Fedora-20 recipe was running 2. Andrew cancelled Fedora-20 recipe, all looks OK so far 3. Beaker should continue with RHEL5 recipe 4. system is reserved for Andrew, then powered on, netboot is cleared and system is powered off, recipe then times out PROBLEM is that power actions and netboot actions appear to be out of sync: a) system should not be powered on before netboot is ready b) actions "Distro Tree Provision" and "configure_netboot" for RHEL5 recipe are missing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.1 How reproducible: rare Steps to Reproduce: unknown, it looks like you have to time cancelling recipe in right moment Actual results: System failed to run RHEL5 recipe power actions and netboot actions look out of sync some netboot actions are missing Expected results: power actions and netboot actions are in sync Additional info:
