[Xen-devel] Bringing up OSS test framework on moonshot(aarch64) systems

[Bhupinder Thakur <bhupinder.thakur@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to bring up OSS test framework on a couple of moonshot
systems which are accessible to me remotely.

While going through [1], I have some queries/doubts on the configuration.

1. The following configuration:

DnsDomain uk.xensource.com
NetNameservers 10.80.248.2 10.80.16.28 10.80.16.67
HostProp_DhcpWatchMethod leases dhcp3 dhcp.uk.xensource.com:5556
TftpPath /usr/groups/netboot/

DebianNonfreeFirmware firmware-bnx2
DebianSuite squeeze
DebianMirrorHost debian.uk.xensource.com
DebianPreseed= < <‘END’
d-i clock-setup/ntp-server string ntp.uk.xensource.com
END

1. In this configuration, where would the DNS server be running? Does
it expect that a DNS server is already configured in the network and
it has mapping of name <--> IP address for all test hosts? Or do we
need to setup it up on the OSS controller?

2. What is the DhcpWatchMethod option used for?

3. How are the debian related options mentioned above used? Does OSS
fetches the installers/preseed files from DEbianMirrorHost and place
them in the required tftp folders?

I may have more doubts as I try to set things up.
