== What to test? ==

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on [[Virtualization]] in Fedora 21. Test cases will basic virtualization workflow, some cool functionality, as well as new features introduced in Fedora 21.

== Who's available ==

The following cast of characters will be available for testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion.
<!--

* [[User:<yourfedoracct>|<your name>]] (<your irc nick>)
-->
* [[User:crobinso|Cole Robinson]] (crobinso)

* [[User:kashyapc|Kashyap Chamarthy]] (kashyapc)
* [[User:rjones|Richard Jones]] (rwmjones)
* [[User:jenelson|Jeff E. Nelson]] (jenelson)

== Known issues ==
<!-- Before you begin testing, there are a few known bugs that should be taken into account: -->
* Fedora 21 Workstation media is not detected as Fedora 21 by boxes/virt-manager: [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145264 bug 1145264]
* SPICE auto guest resize isn't working: [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146175 bug 1146175]
* Latest virt-customize/virt-builder seem to have issues setting passwords [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146275 bug 1146275]
* virt-manager can lose track of guest state, think VM is running when it's actually stopped [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146277 bug 1146277]
* F21 workstation livecd in a VM has no network connectivity, conflicts with host 'default' network [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146232 1146232]
* spice-vdagent: drag + drop doesn't open nautilus right away: [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146289 bug 1146289]
* virt-manager: UI error when trying to hotplug USB/PCI: [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1146297 bug 1146297]

== What's needed to test ==

For starters, your physical machine should have:
* Hardware virtualization support (e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V) (see [[How_to_debug_Virtualization_problems#Is_My_Guest_Using_KVM.3F|Is My Guest Using KVM?]]).
* Up to 10-20Gb free disk space. Guest images take up a lot of space.
* Get the packages with: <code>yum groupinstall virtualization</code>

As for getting the latest virt packages, you have a few options:

=== Fedora 21 on a physical machine ===

The preferred testing platform is a fully updated Fedora 21 machine. You have a few options for getting the Fedora 21 bits:

==== Install with CD/DVD ====

You can download the Fedora 21 Alpha in various formats [https://fedoraproject.org/get-prerelease here].

==== Upgrade from Fedora 20 ====

* The supported way is using 'fedup': [[FedUp#How_Can_I_Upgrade_My_System_with_FedUp.3F]] You may also find the instructions in the [[QA:Testcase_upgrade_fedup_cli_previous_desktop|fedup test case]] useful for using fedup to upgrade to a pre-release.
* [[Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum|Upgrade using 'yum']]: This method is not officially supported, but is very commonly used by developers. If you're a power user this is a possible option!

=== Run Fedora 21 in a VM with nested virtualization ===

Do you have a new machine with a ton of ram and storage space, running Fedora 21? Nested virt might be an option! This allows you to create KVM guests ''inside'' a Fedora 21 VM.

Use the [[#Fedora_21_virt_packages_on_Fedora_20|virt-preview instructions]] below, install a guest using one of the [[#VM_Install|install test cases]], and follow the [[QA:Testcase_KVM_nested_virt|nested virt test case]] to finish the setup and verify things are working correctly.

=== Fedora 21 virt packages on Fedora 20 ===

If you aren't ready to make the jump to Fedora 21, this is the next best thing! Run latest virt packages on Fedora 20 from the virt-preview repo:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Virtualization_Preview_Repository

== '''Areas to test''' ==

All these tests have an entry in the '''[[#Test Results |Test Results]]''' table, please record them there.

=== '''Ensure you are using the latest virt packages!''' ===

Several updated packages were pushed to Fedora 21 only recently. The recommended versions are:

* qemu-system-x86-2.1.1-2.fc21 (same version for all qemu* packages)
* libvirt-daemon-1.2.8-6.fc21
* virt-manager-common-1.1.0-3.git310f6527.fc21

If a 'yum update' isn't pulling these packages in, try 'sudo yum clean all', then 'sudo yum update'.

=== '''VM Install''' ===

If you don't already have a VM available, run through one of these test cases. A fully functioning VM is required for every other test case!

* [[QA:Testcase Virtualization CDROM Guest Install|Guest install via CDROM/ISO]]
* [[QA:Testcase Virtualization URL Guest Install|Guest install via URL]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_Import_Guest_Install|Import existing VM image (your own disk image, or Fedora cloud image, or virt-builder image)]]

=== '''Standard features'''===

These are recurring tests of standard virt features, they ensure nothing obvious is broken.

* [[QA:Testcase Virtualization Virt Manager Lifecycle|VM Lifecycle (start, stop, save, clone, delete, ...)]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virt_Snapshot_UI|VM snapshot management]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_Spice_Features|Spice features: copy/paste, drag/drop, USB redirection, auto guest resize]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virt_Change_CDROM_Media|Change CDROM media for running VM]]
* [[QA:Testcase Virtualization Hotplug USB device to guest|Host USB device hotplug]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_KVM_PCI_Device_Assignment|Host PCI device assignment]]
* [[QA:Testcase_KVM_nested_virt|Enabling nested virtualization for a VM]]
* [[QA:Testcase Live Migration using libvirt/virsh|Live migration (steps included for doing this with a single physical host)]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virt_ARM_on_x86|Run Fedora ARM image as a VM on x86]]

=== '''New features''' ===

* [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_Q35_Chipset|Q35 Chipset]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virt_AArch64_on_x86|Import AArch64 image as a VM on x86]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_UEFI|Install VM using OVMF/UEFI]]

== Extra tests ==

These tests aren't listed in the 'test results' table, but consider giving them a spin and reporting any issues on IRC or bugzilla.

=== libguestfs and tools ===

You will need Fedora 21 (host) and at least one guest (but the more the merrier).

Install libguestfs: <code># yum install '*guestf*'</code>

and run through the tests here: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-testing.1.html

=== Previous test cases ===

I went further - created a VM and installed Fedora 20 on it. This is a use case I'd never do in real life, but it's nice to know it's there. I'd be much more likely to deploy some tiny server in LXC or Docker with a Firefox client than a full VM-inside-a-VM.</ref>
