Scheduling a suite¶

This requires access to a running teuthology cluster, for instance the cluster from the sepia lab.

• git clone https://github.com/ceph/teuthology/
• cd teuthology
• ./bootstrap
• Test the suite with --dry-run, i.e. something like:
  

  ./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-suite --dry-run --priority 1000 --subset 1/18 --suite rados --suite-branch giant --machine-type plana,burnupi,mira --distro ubuntu --email loic@dachary.org --ceph giant
  

• Review the jobs to be scheduled and if it matches what is expected, run the same command without the --dry-run
• Assuming the suite was run on the sepia lab, it will immediately show up at http://pulpito.ceph.com/ (for instance http://pulpito.ceph.com/loic-2015-03-27_09:57:09-upgrade:firefly-x:stress-split-erasure-code-hammer---basic-multi/). Note the loic-2015-03-27_09:57:09-upgrade:firefly-x:stress-split-erasure-code-hammer---basic-multi part of the path: it matches the run name displayed by teuthology-suite

The meaning of the teuthology-suite arguments are:

• --suite a reference to https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite/tree/master/suites. For instance --suite rados means run all jobs at https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite/tree/master/suites/rados
• --suite-branch a reference to the ceph-qa-suite branch to use. For instance --suite rados --suite-branch giant means run all jobs at https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite/tree/giant/suites/rados instead of https://github.com/ceph/ceph-qa-suite/tree/master/suites/rados
• --priority is the the priority of the job in the queue (lower numbers are higher priority). By default it is 1000 and if nothing is urgent it should be used. If in the process of debugging a single job that fails, the priority 101 can be used so that it is scheduled faster.
• --machine-type is the kind of machine that will be provisionned to run the tests. Use plana,burnupi,mira for bare metal or vps for virtual machines.
• --ceph is the branch of the Ceph repository to use and defaults to master. For instance --ceph giant means use https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/giant/ instead of https://github.com/ceph/ceph/tree/master/
• --email when the run is complete an email will be sent to this address with a summary of the results.
• --subset X/N will reduce the number of jobs to 1/N of the total number of jobs, as long as it includes all yaml (facets). For instance, in a given rados suite --subset 0/18 will always create the same jobs. By running 0/18, then 1/18, etc. up to 17/18 all jobs are generated. It is a good idea to not always pick the same subset to get various combinations and increase the odds of discovering a problem.

Using the --subset option¶

The goal of integration tests is to verify a set of commits won't create problems that could be easily detected by running the teuthology suites. If the --subset is not used, the tests being run will be the same as if --subset is used, only combined differently. Running all combinations of tests is useful to detect subtle bugs, but it's not the focus of the integration tests. It is therefore advisable to always use the --subset option, regardless of the suite being run, to reduce the number of tests being scheduled and speed up their completion.

Re-scheduling failed or dead jobs from an existing suite¶

• Ask https://github.com/ceph/paddles (the server in which suite runs are stored) about the dead or fail jobs
  

  run=loic-2015-03-23_01:09:31-rados-giant---basic-multi
  eval filter=$(curl --silent http://paddles.front.sepia.ceph.com/runs/$run/ | jq '.jobs[] | select(.status == "dead" or .status == "fail") | .description' | while read description ; do echo -n $description, ; done | sed -e 's/,$//')
  

• Re-run the suite using the same command line without --filter-out and with --filter="$filter" to only schedule the jobs described in the fitler variable
  

  ./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-suite --filter="$filter" --priority 1000 --suite rados --suite-branch giant --machine-type plana,burnupi,mira --distro ubuntu --email loic@dachary.org --ceph giant
  

Killing a suite¶

• if the run is scheduled but did not start yet:
  • if the suite was scheduled with --machine-type plana,burnupi,mira:
    

    ./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-kill -m multi -r loic-2015-03-27_09:57:09-upgrade:firefly-x:stress-split-erasure-code-hammer 
    

  • if the suite was scheduled with --machine-type vps
    

    ./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-kill -m vps -r loic-2015-03-27_09:57:09-upgrade:firefly-x:stress-split-erasure-code-hammer
    

• if the run already started the -m option is not necessary
  

  ./virtualenv/bin/teuthology-kill -r loic-2015-03-27_09:57:09-upgrade:firefly-x:stress-split-erasure-code-hammer
