Description

This test case verifies that installing on a FCoE device works properly. Testing on bare metal (not in a virtual machine) is preferred for this test case. Specific FCoE (fiber channel over ethernet) hardware is required in order to complete this test.

Setup

  1. Prepare a test system with a working FCoE storage device of sufficient size for a Fedora install, and a Fedora installation medium.

How to test

  1. Boot the installer using any available means
  2. On the Installation Destination screen, click Add a disk... under Specialized & Network Disks
  3. On the FCoE Devices tab, select all detected FCoE devices
  4. Partition as you like, but bugs in partitioning that are not related to the FCoE device type are outside the scope of this test
  5. Complete the installation process, making sensible selections for all other installer options
  6. Boot the installed system

Expected Results

  1. All installable FCoE devices are successfully detected by installer and are available for partitioning.
  2. Partitions are created and formatted properly.
  3. Install completes successfully.
  4. System boots successfully recognizing filesystems created on the FCoE device(s).
