Add custom grub entries with extra kernel parameters. It adds 3rd line with default options + 4th line with advanced options. Extra kernel parameters are taken in GRUB_PARAM variable (a semicolon-separated list).
e.g. grub entries before:
* SLES 15
* Advanced options for SLES 15
* Start bootloader from a read-only snapshotgrub entries with GRUB_PARAM='ima_policy=tcb' and calling add_custom_grub_entries:
* SLES 15
* Advanced options for SLES 15
* SLES 15 (ima_policy=tcb)
* Advanced options for SLES 15 (ima_policy=tcb)
* Start bootloader from a read-only snapshotAnd of course the new entries have ima_policy=tcb added to kernel parameters.
boot_grub_item([ $menu1, [ $menu2 ] ]);Choose custom boot menu entry in grub. $menu1 defines which entry to choose in first boot menu, optional $menu2 defines which entry to choose in second boot menu (makes sense only when $menu1 selects "Advanced options", otherwise it's ignored).
Default value is $menu1 = 3, $menu2 = 1, which boots kernel with extra parameters (generated by add_custom_grub_entries()) or 3rd option whatever it is other OS (given that 1st and 2nd grub options are for the default kernel):
Examples:
Boot kernel with extra parameters (generated with add_custom_grub_entries()) or 3rd option whatever it is other OS:
boot_grub_item();
boot_grub_item(3);Boot the default kernel:
boot_grub_item(1);Boot the default kernel recovery mode (selected in the "Advanced options ..."):
boot_grub_item(2, 2);get_linuxrc_boot_params();Returns array of strings @params with linurc boot options to enable logging to the serial console, enable core dumps and set debug level for logging.
grep_grub_settings($pattern)Search for $pattern in /etc/default/grub, return 1 if found.
grep_grub_cmdline_settings($pattern [, $search])Search for $pattern in grub cmdline variable (usually GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT) in /etc/default/grub, return 1 if found.
change_grub_config($old, $new [, $search ] [, $modifiers ], [, $update_grub ]);Replace $old with $new in /etc/default/grub, using sed. $new, default empty string $search meant to be for changing only particular line for sed, $modifiers for sed replacement, e.g. "g". $update_grub if set, regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and upload configuration.
add_grub_cmdline_settings($add [, update_grub => $update_grub] [, search => $search]);Add $add into /etc/default/grub, using sed. $update_grub if set, regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and upload configuration. $search if set, bypass default grub cmdline variable.
add_grub_xen_cmdline_settings($add [, $update_grub ]);Add $add into /etc/default/grub, using sed. $update_grub if set, regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and upload configuration.
add_grub_xen_replace_cmdline_settings($add [, $update_grub ]);Add $add into /etc/default/grub, using sed. $update_grub if set, regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and upload configuration.
replace_grub_cmdline_settings($old, $new [, update_grub => $update_grub] [, search => $search]);Replace $old with $new in /etc/default/grub, using sed. $update_grub if set, regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and upload configuration. $search if set, bypass default grub cmdline variable.
replace_grub_xen_cmdline_settings($old, $new [, $update_grub ]);Replace $old with $new in /etc/default/grub, using sed. $update_grub if set, regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig and upload configuration.
remove_grub_cmdline_settings($remove [, $search]);Remove $remove from /etc/default/grub (using sed) and regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Search line $search from /etc/default/grub (use for sed).
remove_grub_xen_cmdline_settings($remove);Remove $remove from /etc/default/grub (using sed) and regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
grub_mkconfig();
grub_mkconfig($config);Regenerate /boot/grub2/grub.cfg with grub2-mkconfig.
get_cmdline_var();Get default grub cmdline variable: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX for JeOS, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT for the rest.
parse_bootparams_in_serial();Parses serail output, searching for 'Command line' parameters. Then converts the found parameters to an array of the values.
Returns the array of the boot parameters.
compare_bootparams(\@array1, \@array2);Compares two arrays of bootparameters passed by array reference and logs the result to openQA using record_info.
Does not fail the test module but just highlights the result of the comparison.
create_encrypted_part(disk => $disk, luks_type => $luks_type);Creates gpt partition table on a given disk and creates encrypted partition on it using default luks encryption or specific encryption if provided. It is useful to test encrypted partitions activation in the installer.
mimic_user_to_import(disk => $disk, passwd => $passwd, shadow => $shadow);Creates /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files to simluate existing users on the encrypted partition disk. Is expected to be used together with create_encrypted_part Can be used to test user import functionality not to chain jobs. Method accepts disk to define the device to work with, passwd and shadow store content of the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files accordingly.
prepare_disksWipe existing disks and create encrypted partitions if needed for the test. Is handy for the bare metal setups and LPARs where we can have traces of previous installation.
sync_timeSync system time, time offset can cause problems e.g. certificate is not yet valid
