This test is for snapshotting an instance/volume and attaching the volume created from snapshot to the instance booted from snapshot. The following is the scenario outline: 1. Boot an instance "instance1" 2. Create a volume "volume1" 3. Attach volume1 to instance1 4. Create a filesystem on volume1 5. Mount volume1 6. Create a file which timestamp is written in volume1 7. Unmount volume1 8. Detach volume1 from instance1 9. Get a snapshot "snapshot_from_volume" of volume1 10. Get a snapshot "snapshot_from_instance" of instance1 11. Boot an instance "instance2" from snapshot_from_instance 12. Create a volume "volume2" from snapshot_from_volume 13. Attach volume2 to instance2 14. Check the existence of a file which created at 6. in volume2 Change-Id: If8eef9c8c4415b8658ac1b13dc2e114dc22378b4 Fixes: bug #1203637

Tempest - The OpenStack Integration Test Suite
This is a set of integration tests to be run against a live OpenStack cluster. Tempest has batteries of tests for OpenStack API validation, Scenarios, and other specific tests useful in validating an OpenStack deployment.
Quickstart
To run Tempest, you first need to create a configuration file that will tell Tempest where to find the various OpenStack services and other testing behavior switches.
The easiest way to create a configuration file is to copy the sample
one in the etc/
directory :
$> cd $TEMPEST_ROOT_DIR
$> cp etc/tempest.conf.sample etc/tempest.conf
After that, open up the etc/tempest.conf
file and edit
the configuration variables to match valid data in your environment.
This includes your Keystone endpoint, a valid user and credentials, and
reference data to be used in testing.
Note
If you have a running devstack environment, tempest will be
automatically configured and placed in /opt/stack/tempest
.
It will have a configuration file already set up to work with your
devstack installation.
Tempest is not tied to any single test runner, but Nose been the most
commonly used tool. After setting up your configuration file, you can
execute the set of Tempest tests by using nosetests
::
$> nosetests tempest
- To run one single test ::
-
- $> nosetests -sv tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_actions.py:
-
ServerActionsTestJSON.test_rebuild_nonexistent_server
Configuration
Detailed configuration of tempest is beyond the scope of this document. The etc/tempest.conf.sample attempts to be a self documenting version of the configuration.
The most important pieces that are needed are the user ids, openstack endpoints, and basic flavors and images needed to run tests.
Common Issues
Tempest was originally designed to primarily run against a full OpenStack deployment. Due to that focus, some issues may occur when running Tempest against devstack.
Running Tempest, especially in parallel, against a devstack instance may cause requests to be rate limited, which will cause unexpected failures. Given the number of requests Tempest can make against a cluster, rate limiting should be disabled for all test accounts.
Additionally, devstack only provides a single image which Nova can use. For the moment, the best solution is to provide the same image uuid for both image_ref and image_ref_alt. Tempest will skip tests as needed if it detects that both images are the same.
