[Avocado-devel] How to enable a new platform and Linux on avocado-vt?

[Wei WA Li]

Hi all,

Could you help me to take a look for this issue? I am still trying to do
it, but I have no idea about it. Thank you very much.
https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado-vt/issues/512


I just installed avocado-vt on our s390x platform, the result is as below.

[root at zs95kv2 avocado]# ./scripts/avocado run
--vt-machine-type=s390-ccw-kvmibm-1.1.1
type_specific.io-github-autotest-qemu.migrate.default.tcp --show-g
Config
file /usr/share/avocado/data/avocado-vt/backends/qemu/cfg/guest-os.cfg auto
generated from guest OS samples
Config
file /usr/share/avocado/data/avocado-vt/backends/qemu/cfg/subtests.cfg auto
generated from subtest samples
Test discovery plugin <avocado_vt.loader.VirtTestLoader object at
0x917d17f0> failed: option --vt-guest-os 'JeOS.23' is not on the known
guest os for aone' and machine type 's390-ccw-kvmibm-1.1.1'. (see
--vt-list-guests)

Unable to discover url(s)
'type_specific.io-github-autotest-qemu.migrate.default.tcp' with loader
plugins(s) 'file', 'vt', 'external', try running 'avoist -V
type_specific.io-github-autotest-qemu.migrate.default.tcp' to see the
details.

s390x is our platfrom on Z mianframe, and I am trying to test it
virtualiztion functions by avocado. The relationship is as below.

s390     like    X86
zLinux   like    Fedora
zKVM     like    KVM

So current avocado does not support our platfrom, I want to modify it and
contribute it.


Shoud I need to add some cfg here firstly?
