== What to test? ==

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on [[Virtualization]] in Fedora 22. Test cases will basic virtualization workflow, some cool functionality, as well as new features introduced in Fedora 22.

== 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:huzhan|Hu Zhang]] (huzhan)
* [[User:ericb|Eric Blake]] (eblake)
* [[User:laine|Laine Stump]] (laine)

== Known issues ==
<!-- Before you begin testing, there are a few known bugs that should be taken into account: -->
* ejecting CDROM media from a VM hits 'tray locked' error, but succeeds on the second attempt: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211761
* libvirt has crashed on me a couple times while deleting a running VM: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211760
* libosinfo doesn't have a Fedora 22 option: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211797
* libosinfo's fallback fedora detection doesn't catch fedora server: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211796
* After cloning a VM with virt-manager, the delete VM wizard thinks the new storage doesn't exist: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1211795

== 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 22 on a physical machine ===

The preferred testing platform is a fully updated Fedora 22 machine. You have a few options for getting the Fedora 22 bits:

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

You can download the latest Fedora 22 Beta composes here:

* Workstation live .ISO: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/22_Beta_RC2/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-22_Beta-2.iso
* Server DVD: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/22_Beta_RC2/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-22_Beta.iso
* Alpha cloud image: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/22_Alpha/Cloud/x86_64/Images/Fedora-Cloud-Base-22_Alpha-20150305.x86_64.qcow2

==== Upgrade from Fedora 21 ====

* 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 22 in a VM with nested virtualization ===

Do you have a new machine with a ton of ram and storage space, running Fedora 22? Nested virt might be an option! This allows you to create KVM guests ''inside'' a Fedora 22 VM.

Use the [[#Fedora_22_virt_packages_on_Fedora_21|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 22 virt packages on Fedora 21 ===

If you aren't ready to make the jump to Fedora 22, this is the next best thing! Run latest virt packages on Fedora 21 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 22 only recently. The recommended versions are:

* qemu-system-x86-2.3.0-0.3.rc2.fc22.x86_64 (same version for all qemu* packages)
* libvirt-daemon-1.2.13-2.fc22.x86_64
* virt-manager-1.1.0-7.git6dbe19bd8.fc22

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''' ===

These are 'newish'. We had them here last year but things have been improved quite a bit.

* [[QA:Testcase_Virt_AArch64_on_x86|Install Fedora AArch64 in a VM on x86 host]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_UEFI|Install x86 VM using 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 22 (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 ===

Some test cases used in previous test days. Still useful to test for regressions! 

Fedora 21 features:
* [[QA:Testcase_Virtualization_Q35_Chipset|Q35 Chipset]]
* [[QA:Testcase_Virt_AArch64_on_x86|Import AArch64 image as a VM on x86]]

| {{result|warn}}  <ref>I had mixed success. I was using virt-manager (except to set host-passthrough at level 0).

Creating a nested guest, I got "No virtual networks available". But, the network in the L1 host was working. I used it to download the iso.

Creating a nested guest, I got a strange error, "Unable to complete install: 'list.remove(x): x not in list'. I was trying to create the VM with a virtio-scsi disk. When I switched to virtio-blk, it worked. I'm not sure if I can reproduce this.

| {{result|pass}}  <ref>Nested virt worked well.

I used host-passthrough at L0 on Fedora 21 and SandyBridge at L1 using Fedora 22. I did everything with virt-manager using the Fedora 22 beta workstation iso. Except I used virsh edit to set host-passthrough for the L0 host.

In the L1 host, I ran yum update to make sure I had qemu 2.3 rc3.

I didn't get a default network for the L2 guest. And, I had trouble using virtio-scsi for the L2 guest. </ref>
