Overview
This is the IBM PowerKVM CI status page. For questions and more information, please contact kvmpower@linux.vnet.ibm.com. You can also ping rfolco or mmedvede on OpenStack IRC channels @Freenode.
PowerKVM CI currently runs Openstack Icehouse release. Devstack-gate jobs run on Fedora 21 single use slaves. Publicly available ppc64 version of CirrOS 0.3.4 is used for second level guests. Previously, custom CirrOS image had to be built with mainline kernel for ppc64 as described in [1].
Results are reported through the Gerrit page on Nova patches[2] and the logs are uploaded to the Softlayer's Swift service[3] on PROJECT/PATCH_NUMBER[-2:]/PATCH_NUMBER/PATCH_SET directory structure containing MySQL and Postgres variances of the devstack-gate jobs. Both run the Tempest testsuite. Logs stored on Softlayer Swift expire in 1 month.
