+!!! error "REFERENCED RELEASE CRITERIA IS OVERLY GENERAL AND UNTESTABLE"
+    The associated release criteria, [Release_Criteria#basic-graphics-mode-behaviors](8_release_criteria.md#basic-graphics-mode-behaviors), for this test case is overly general and **must** be modified to specific enough to be testable.
+
+!!! info "Associated release criterion"
+    This test case is associated with the [Release_Criteria#basic-graphics-mode-behaviors](8_release_criteria.md#basic-graphics-mode-behaviors) release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.
+
+## Description
+This test case will verify that release-blocking installers function as intended using the generic video driver option (“basic graphics mode”) on supported systems and classes of hardware.
+
+{% include 'qa_testcase_supported_systems.md' %}
+
+## Setup
+1. Obtain access to supported system and hardware class to be installed.
+2. Prepare appropriate media for the selected ISO to be tested.

+    This test case is associated with the [Release_Criteria - Debranding](9_release_criteria.md#debranding) release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.
+
+## Description
+The Rocky Linux [Release Engineering Team](/team/release_engineering/) builds and maintains tools to manage the debranding of packages received from the upstream vendor. They have published a comprehensive [debranding guide](/team/release_engineering/debranding/) and maintain a [list of packages](https://git.rockylinux.org/rocky/metadata/-/blob/main/patch.yml) requiring debranding patches.
+
+This testcase will verify that all packages available on released media that Rocky Linux Release Engineering has identified as requiring debranding are debranded successfully per their specification.
+
+## Setup
+1. Obtain access to an environment with the `dnf`, and `koji` commands and access to [Rocky Linux Gitlab](https://git.rockylinux.org) and [Rocky Linux Koji](https://koji.rockylinux.org)
+2. Download the ISO to be tested to test machine.
+3. Configure `/etc/koji.conf` to access the [Rocky Linux Koji](https://koji.rockylinux.org).
+4. Download a recent copy the [patch.yml](https://git.rockylinux.org/rocky/metadata/-/blob/main/patch.yml) from [Rocky Linux Gitlab](https://git.rockylinux.org).
+
+!!! info "patch.yml"
+    Packages listed in `patch.yml` are names of source RPMs. Binary RPMs containing content produced by building the patched source RPMs need to be validated. The easiest way to get the list of all possible binary RPMs for a particular package and arch is to ask obtain that information in koji.
+
+## How to test
+1. Mount the ISO to be tested locally.
+    - Example:
+    ```
+    $ mount -o loop Rocky-8.5-x86_64-dvd1.iso /media
+    ```
+2. Determine the path(s) to the `repodata` directory(ies) on the ISO.
+    - Example:
+    ```
+    $ find /media -name repodata
+    ```
+3. For each package to be validated get the names of the `noarch` and `<arch>` specific packages created from it.
+    - Example:
+    ```
+    $ koji --quiet latest-build --arch=x86_64 dist-rocky8-compose <package>
+    $ koji --quiet latest-build --arch=noarch dist-rocky8-compose <package>
+    ```
+4. Use `dnf` to obtain the paths to the binary packages requiring debranding.
+    - Example:
+    ```
+    $ dnf download --urls --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS \
+        --repofrompath Minimal,/media/Minimal --repo Minimal \
+        <binary_package>
+    ```
+5. Copy the `<binary_package>` from the media and examine it's metadata and/or contents to determine if it has obviously been patched.
+    - Example:
+    ```
+    $ rpm -q --changelog -p <path_to_binary_package> | head | \
+        grep "Release Engineering <releng@rockylinux.org>" -C2 | \
+        grep -Eq "<pattern_to_find>"
+
+    $ rpm2cpio <path_to_binary_package> |
+        cpio --quiet --extract --to-stdout .<file_to_examine> | \
+        grep -Eq "<pattern_to_find>"
+    ```
+
+    !!! info "NOTE"
+        Note all debranding patches will patch files directly and leave very obvious traces, some patches don't even add changelog messages to use as an indicator that the package has been patched or debranded. Sometimes the only solution is to extract the binary package and examine the contents directly to find something to test.
+
+6. Unmount the ISO.
+    - Example:
+    ```
+    $ umount /media
+    ```
+
+## Expected Results
+1. Packages tracked by Release Engineering as requiring debranding and published on installation media are, in fact, debranded per their specification.

+
+## Description
+This testcase will verify that the offline repository included on release blocking images will not contain any file conflicts between packages without explicit `Conflicts:` tag in the package metadata.
+
+## Setup
+1. Obtain access to an environment with the `dnf` and `python3` commands.
+2. Download the ISO to be tested to that machine.
+3. Download the `potential_conflict.py` script provided by Rocky Linux Testing Team.
+
+## How to test
+1. Mount the ISO to be tested locally.
+    - Example:<br>`mount -o loop Rocky-8.5-x86_64-minimal.iso /media`
+2. Determine the path to the `repodata` directory(ies) on the ISO.
+    - Example:<br>`find /media -name repodata`
+3. Run the `potential_conflict.py` script on the mounted ISO.
+    - Example:<br>`python3 /vagrant/scripts/potential_conflict.py --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repoid BaseOS --repofrompath Minimal,/media/Minimal --repoid Minimal`
+4. Unmount the ISO.
+    - Example:<br>`umount /media`
+
+## Expected Results
+1. The `potential_conflict.py` script does not report any packages with non-declared conflicts.
+
+<h3>Sample Output</h3>

+
+## Description
+This verifies that Rocky Linux ISO image can be written to USB media using `dd` command, and the resulting USB media successfully boots to the Anaconda Installer.
+
+!!! error "DATA LOSS"
+    Any data on the USB stick used for this test is likely to be destroyed. Please do not use a stick whose contents you need to keep.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Provide a USB media device that is larger than the ISO image you wish to test and that it can be completely erased.
+2. Provide a Linux (or other *nix system) that has the `dd` command available and an unoccupied USB port.
+3. Download the Rocky Linux ISO image you wish to test onto the test system.
+    - Example command:<br>`curl -LOR https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-x86_64-boot.iso`
+4. Download the `CHECKSUM` file that goes with the Rocky Linux ISO image that you wish to test.
+    - Example command:<br>`curl -LOR https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM`
+5. Download the `CHECKSUM.sig` file that does with the `CHECKSUM` file.
+    - Example command:<br>`curl -LOR https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM.sig`
+6. Download the Rocky Release Engineering GPG key.
+    - Example command:<br>`curl -LOR https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/RPM-GPG-KEY-rockyofficial`
+
+## How to test
+
+1. Import the Rocky Release Engineering GPG key.
+    - Example command:<br>`gpg --import RPM-GPG-KEY-rockyofficial`
+2. Verify the signature of the CHECKSUM file.
+    - Example command:<br>`gpg --verify-file CHECKSUM.sig`
+3. Verify the CHECKSUM of the Rocky Linux ISO...
+    - Example command:<br>`shasum -a 256 --ignore-missing -c CHECKSUM`
+4. Write the Rocky Linux ISO to the USB media using `dd`...
+    - Example command:<br>`dd if=Rocky-8.5-x86_64-boot.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=16M status=progress oflag=direct`<br>...where you replace `sdX` with the device identifier of your USB media.<br>**This will destroy all data on the disk.**
+5. Boot the test system with the USB media.
+6. In the boot menu select the appropriate option to boot the installer.
+7. **[OPTIONAL]** Proceed with installation on the test system.<br>**Depending on installer choices this MAY destroy all the data on the test system.**
+
+## Expected Results
+
+1. The gpg signature on the `CHECKSUM` file is valid.
+2. The `CHECKSUM` of the Rocky Linux ISO is valid.
+3. The Rocky Linux ISO is written to the USB stick without errors.
+4. The USB stick boots without errors.
+5. The Anaconda Installer starts without errors.
+
+!!! error "DATA LOSS"
+    If you choose to complete the installation of the test system any/all data on the system may be lost. Please do not install on a system whose contents you need to keep.
+
+**[OPTIONALLY]**<br>
+6. The installation finishes successfully and, if the minimal or DVD ISO were used, the package repository on the USB stick (not a network based repository) was used for the installation.

+
+## Description
+
+There are several brand artworks and assets throughout the whole OS, this testcase will take care of checking, that these are actually in place, and don't produce any UI errors. This is exclusively for installations with the default desktop environment GDM and GNOME.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. Acquire access to either a baremetal machine or a VM host, to install a new machine
+2. Prepare appropriate media for the selected ISO to be tested.
+    - Example: [QA:Testcase Media USB dd](Testcase_Media_USB_dd.md)
+
+## How to test
+
+1. While booting the image check, that the correct logo is visible in the loading screen before Anaconda comes up
+2. Look at the Anaconda images in the [rocky-logos repo](https://github.com/rocky-linux/rocky-logos/tree/r8-fedora/anaconda) and check if all assets are correctly applied in Anaconda (they will generally be visible right away while going through the install process)
+3. Install the system with either the Workstation install set or Graphical Server
+4. While the OS does its first boot, check that the correct logo is visible in the loading screen before the boot login screen shows up
+5. Check the logo and background of the boot login screen
+6. After the login check the desktop background and further all available options in the settings menu for the desktop background
+7. Lock the screen and check the background visible in the flyover
+8. At last check the logo and background of the login screen
+
+## Expected Results
+
+The tests during the process could be successfully finished.

+5. Back on the desktop check the function of the system and clock panel on the upper right and middle
+
+It is also a good measure to do some more basic clicking through the GNOME UI, like opening applications, interacting with the application headerbar, moving applications to different desktops or changing settings in the System settings.

+
+## Description
+
+Setting up a IdM system (FreeIPA) and using it's functionality leverages not also a lot of the packages in the official repos, it also tests quite a lot of used functions a corporate environment. This installatation will host it's own dns server for more generic testing without relying on the individual infrastructure of the environment.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- A freshly provisioned system (no other functions are allowed on this system except running the IdM services)
+- IPv4 network with unmanaged domain name (installer will check for dns servers) and unmanaged reverse dns network (in my case here 10.30.30.0/24 and ipa1.network)
+- In the case of this writeup the external dns server has the domain `example.com`, this has to have a entry for `r8-ipa1-dev.example.com` (this could also be replaced by a entry in the `/etc/hosts` file if no external dns server should be involved)
+
+## Setup
+
+1. `dnf module enable idm:DL1`
+2. `dnf module install idm:DL1/dns`
+3. `ipa-server-install`
+
+    - Do you want to configure integrated DNS (BIND)? [no]: yes
+    - Server host name [r8-ipa1-dev.example.com]: r8-ipa1-dev.example.com
+    - Please confirm the domain name [ipa1.network]: ipa1.network
+    - Please provide a realm name [IPA1.NETWORK]: IPA1.NETWORK
+    - Directory Manager password: `<password>`
+      Password (confirm): `<password>`
+    - IPA admin password: `<other-password>`
+      Password (confirm): `<other-password>`
+    - Please provide the IP address to be used for this host name: 10.30.30.1
+    - Enter an additional IP address, or press Enter to skip: `leave empty`
+    - Do you want to configure DNS forwarders? [yes]: yes
+    - Do you want to configure these servers as DNS forwarders? [yes]: yes
+    - Enter an IP address for a DNS forwarder, or press Enter to skip: `leave empty`
+    - Do you want to search for missing reverse zones? [yes]: yes
+    - NetBIOS domain name [IPA1]: IPA1
+    - Do you want to configure chrony with NTP server or pool address? [no]: yes
+    - Enter NTP source server addresses separated by comma, or press Enter to skip: `leave empty`
+    - Enter a NTP source pool address, or press Enter to skip: pool.ntp.org
+    - Continue to configure the system with these values? [no]: yes
+
+4. `firewall-cmd --add-service={freeipa-4,dns} --permanent`
+5. `firewall-cmd --add-service={freeipa-4,dns}`
+
+## How to test
+
+1. Make sure Kerberos works, by running `kinit admin` and `klist`
+2. Make sure the webfrontend is reachable and login works
+3. Furthermore you can also attach another system (DNS + connecting via SSSD)
+
+## Expected Results
+
+After installation all services should be available and work correctly.

+
+## Description
+
+As there are a lot of different keyboard layouts available, it is necessary to test if the keyboard functionality works without any issues throughout the system.
+
+## Setup
+
+- Obtain access to a few different system configurations, especially with and without UI, and not to forget with disk encryption.
+- Acquire access to either a baremetal machine or a VM host, to install a new machine
+    - Prepare appropriate media for the selected ISO to be tested.
+    - Example: [QA:Testcase Media USB dd](Testcase_Media_USB_dd.md)
+
+## How to test
+
+### Installer
+
+1. Bootup the installer
+2. Choose a language
+3. Make sure that the keyboard layout got chosen correctly corresponding to the language setting
+4. Change the keyboard layout if needed to test
+5. Enter text all over Anaconda to make sure the keyboard layout works correctly with the chosen keyboard layout
+
+### Disk Encryption
+
+1. Setup a system with disk encryption
+2. Check that the password for the disk encryption works on bootup with graphical UI
+3. Check that the password for the disk encryption works on bootup with text mode
+
+### Text mode
+
+Check that the chosen keyboard layout works correctly on text mode.
+
+### GNOME and Application
+
+1. Check the login, that the keyboard layout works correctly on the graphical UI login screen
+2. Also check that the GNOME UI works correctly with the chosen keyboard layout
+3. And finally check some applications, that the keyboard works as expected
+
+## Expected Results
+
+The tests during the process could be successfully finished.

+
+## Description
+
+This test case takes care of testing the module streams, that they are all installable, all available and working as expected.
+
+## Setup
+
+For this tests you will need to install every module stream on its own, so it's the best to setup a new system which gets snapshoted after the initial setup. After that it can be rolled back for every module install.
+
+It's enough to setup a system with the Minimal Install group.
+
+## How to test
+
+1. Login to the machine
+2. Get a list of all module streams and compare it to the [stream list from RHEL](https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycle) and to the source in [Git source repo](https://git.rockylinux.org/rocky/rocky-module-defaults)
+3. The easiest way to test all streams is to install the package groups in the individual streams, i.e. for postgresql:
+
+```bash
+dnf module install postgresql
+dnf module install postgresql:13
+dnf module install postgresql:13/client
+```
+
+Repeat step 3 as often as module streams and package groups are available.
+
+This could be automated with i.e. Ansible to do all the `install -> rollback -> install -> rollback -> ...` and emiting the output via Ansible.
+
+## Expected Results
+
+All module streams should be available and there shouldn't be any errors while installing any of the package groups of the individual streams. (some of the installs will show warnings though because they are incompatible with other streams)

+# Creating your primary keypair
+
+1. Initiate the keypair generation wizard
+
+        gpg --full-generate-key --expert
+
+1. Select option `(9) ECC and ECC` for the key type
+1. Select option `(1) Curve 25519` for the elliptic curve
+1. Set a validity period of your choice, ideally less than 1 year
+1. Specify real name and email address to associate with this keypair. The email address must match your verified Github email address or be set to `your-github-username@users.noreply.github.com`.
+1. Type a passphrase (twice)
+
+# Create a signing keypair
+
+1. Add a signing subkey
+
+        gpg --expert --edit-key my@email.addr
+        gpg> addkey
+
+1. Select option `(10) ECC (sign only)` for the key type
+1. Select option `(1) Curve 25519` for the elliptic curve
+1. Set a validity period of your choice, ideally less than 1 year
+1. Accept the prompts and type a passphrase (twice)
+1. Save and exit
+
+        gpg> save
+
+# Create revocation certificate
+
+    gpg --output my_email_addr.gpg-revocation-certificate --gen-revoke my@email.addr

+
+## System Requirements
+
+To complete any of the examples below you will need access to a system providing the openQA client. Typically that will be a Fedora based system/container with the `openqa-client` package and it's (~239) dependencies installed.
+
+## Access Requirement
+
+### API `GET` access
+
+The {{ rc.prod }} openQA system allows unrestricted public access via it's web interface or using the `openqa-client` for `GET` operations against the API.
+
+### API `POST` access
+
+In order to use the openQA client to interact with the {{ rc.prod }} openQA system for `POST` operations the following are required:
+
+- an account in good standing in the [{{ rc.prod }} Account Services](https://accounts.rockylinux.org) system,
+- authorization for API `POST` access from the {{ rc.prod }} Testing Team, and
+- an [openQA API key](https://open.qa/docs/#_authentication) generated on the {{ rc.prod }} openQA system.
+
+## Configuring your openqa client
+
+Per the openqa client command help you can configure your client to use your API key in a number of ways.
+
+The following example shows how to configure your client by the most common method used. It's possible to configure
+multiple openqa client API keys in this way.
+
+```bash
+$ mkdir -p ~/.config/openqa
+
+$ vim ~/.config/openqa/client.conf
+
+$ cat ~/.config/openqa/client.conf
+[localhost]
+key = your_localhost_api_key
+secret = your_localhost_api_secret
+[openqa.rockylinux.org]
+key = your_api_key
+secret = your_api_secret
+```
+
+## Testing your openqa client installation
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-cli api --host http://openqa.rockylinux.org --pretty jobs/1
+{
+   "job" : {
+      "assets" : {
+         "iso" : [

+
+# openqa-cli POST Examples
+
+This page will provide a brief overview of some basic `openqa-cli` `POST` examples.
+
+## System / Access Requirements
+
+To complete any of the examples please complete the API `POST` Access steps outlined in the [openQA - Access](openqa_access.md) document.
+
+## Basic POST
+
+A basic `POST` can be used for any of the default test suites for the various {{ rc.prod }} media that are made available. The following examples show some of these standard `POST`s that are commonly used by our team and will be used to demonstrate how some minor variations.
+
+### FLAVOR=boot-iso
+
+This first `POST` is the most basic, simply providing the minimal set of variables required to trigger the standard test suite for the {{ rc.prod }} 9.1 boot ISO on openqa workers for the `x86_64` architecture. All tests of the test suite are predetermined and configure on the openQA server. Since the boot ISO doesn't contain any packages this test suite is effectively a network install from standard {{ rc.prod }} repository servers and/or mirrors.
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-9.1-x86_64-boot.iso ARCH=x86_64 \
+  DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=boot-iso VERSION=9.1 CURRREL=9 BUILD=20230409-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0
+```
+
+### FLAVOR=minimal-iso
+
+This `POST` demonstrates how a different media type, in this case the minimal ISO, for an alternate {{ rc.prod }} version, in this case {{ rc.prod }} 8.7, can be triggered. As can be seen by this and the previous `POST` the `BUILD` variable will typically be designate the date, version and architecture of the test suite. Since the minimal ISO contains all packages required to conduct a ***minimal*** install of {{ rc.prod }} that is the behavior of this test suite.
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-8.7-x86_64-minimal.iso ARCH=x86_64 \
+  DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=minimal-iso VERSION=8.7 CURRREL=8 BUILD=20230409-Rocky-8.7-x86_64.0
+```
+
+### FLAVOR=package-set
+
+This `POST` demonstrates specification of the final normal media type, the dvd ISO, along with what is called a `FLAVOR`, in this case `package-set` for the `x86_64` architecture and {{ rc.prod }} 9.1. Since the dvd ISO contains all of the packages available at release of a specific version or {{ rc.prod }} the `package-set` test suite will test installation of all primary installation types of {{ rc.prod }} not included in the `minimal-iso` test suite above.
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-9.1-20221214.1-x86_64-dvd.iso ARCH=x86_64 \
+  DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=package-set VERSION=9.1 CURRREL=9 BUILD=20230409-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0
+```
+
+These three test suites provide for the minimal testing of all ISOs produced for a given release of {{ rc.prod }}. 
+
+## Advanced POST
+
+In addition to the [Basic POSTs](#basic-post) described above there are additional default test suites that use the dvd ISO media and include substantially more test cases. Those include:
+
+- installing in graphical, text and serial console
+- installation for standard BIOS and UEFI
+- validation of the Anaconda help system
+- disk layout variations including LVM, RAID, partition shrink and/or grow, iSCSI and LUKS
+- PXE installation from various network sources
+- installation in various languages
+
+Standard `POST`s for these test suites is very similar to the basic POSTs above and are shown below...
+
+### FLAVOR=dvd-iso
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-9.1-20221214.1-x86_64-dvd.iso ARCH=x86_64 \
+  DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=dvd-iso VERSION=9.1 CURRREL=9 BUILD=20230409-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0
+```
+
+### FLAVOR=universal
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-9.1-20221214.1-x86_64-dvd.iso ARCH=x86_64 \
+  DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=universal VERSION=9.1 CURRREL=9 BUILD=20230409-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0
+```
+
+## Collection of test suites by BUILD
+
+A feature of openQA is that for a given job group test suites which use the same `BUILD` identifier are collected into a single view in the web UI.
+
+![openQA Home View...](/assets/images/openqa_home_view.png){ loading=lazy }
+
+Thus, the examples show above which all use `BUILD=20230409-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0` are all shown in a single view. Additionally, that view is accessible via a predictable URI, for example [`https://openqa.rockylinux.org/tests/overview?build=20230409-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0`](https://openqa.rockylinux.org/tests/overview?build=20230409-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0) as shown below...

+# openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec Examples
+
+This page will provide a brief overview of basic and advanced job cloning using the `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec` command.
+
+At a high level `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec` can be viewed as a mechanism to test PRs for openQA tests directly in a {{ rc.prod }} openQA instance with making changes to the default configuration. As such, it can support testing of PRs that change test code and needles as long as changes to `templates.fif.json` are not also required. A combination of `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec` and `openqa-clone-job` (which is actually used by `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec` under the hood) can be used for some cases where `POST` variables are pre-defined in `templates.fif.json`.
+
+## System / Access Requirements
+
+To complete any of the examples please complete the API `POST` Access steps outlined in the [openQA - Access](openqa_access.md) document.
+
+## Basic `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec`
+
+The following example demonstrates the testing of an open Github pull request in the {{ rc.prod }} openQA production system. The PR only changes test code and does not supply updated needles for the test.
+
+### Github PR information
+
+***NOTE: The Github CLI tool (`gh`) is used to display PR information statically in this guide.***

+
+Above is the information provided in the original PR and it includes tests performed in Alan's openQA development system. We can rerun failing tests in the {{ rc.prod }} openQA system after identifying an appropriate job ID for each Rocky Linux version we are testing. For this example the openQA WebUI was used to find appropriate test IDs to clone.
+
+### Run `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec` in `--verbose --dry-run` mode
+
+In practice it is useful to run `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec` in `--verbose` and `--dry-run` mode to observe it's behavior even for the Basic cases...
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec --verbose --dry-run \

+
+What can be seen from the complete `--dry-run` output for `openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec` is that both the job to be cloned and the PR to be used are inspected and a `openqa-clone-job` command is generated to be submitted to the openQA system the job is being cloned on.
+
+Without using `--dry-run` the final `openqa-clone-job` command shown above will be run causing the job of interest to be cloned with additional `POST` variables that will cause the repository/branch referenced in the PR to be cloned into the test directory with important files referenced in the cloned job.

+
+# openqa-clone-job Examples
+
+This page will provide a brief overview of basic and advanced job cloning using the `openqa-clone-job` command.
+
+## System / Access Requirements
+
+To complete any of the examples please complete the API `POST` Access steps outlined in the [openQA - Access](openqa_access.md) document.
+
+## Basic `openqa-clone-job`
+
+### Querying openQA for a specific test or job
+
+First you might want to query the {{ rc.prod }} openQA system for the latest job ID for a specific job or test. The openQA client, hereafter refered to as `openqa-cli` will allow you to quickly do that via the API. Here is an example...
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-cli api --host http://openqa.rockylinux.org jobs/overview groupid=0 distri=rocky version=9.1 test=install_default_upload latest=1 | jq '.'
+[
+  {
+    "id": 22735,
+    "name": "rocky-9.1-dvd-iso-x86_64-Build20230423-Rocky-9.1-x86_64.0-install_default_upload@64bit"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+This basically says "give me the job id and name of the most recent `install_default_upload` test for {{ rc.prod }} 9.1".
+
+### Cloning a job "as-is"
+
+With that job id in hand you can now clone that job directly to your local openQA development system with...
+
+```bash

+**NOTE: In the above job information you can clearly see the job was cloned from `https://openqa.rockylinux.org/tests/22735`.**
+
+## Advanced `openqa-clone-job`
+
+You can, of course, perform more elaborate operations while cloneing a job either from your local instance or from the production instance. Typically, this might be done to modify some of the job POST variables in the cloned job while keeping all other variables unchanged.
+
+### Changing variable during clone
+
+Here is an example where the ISO is changed in the cloned job...
+
+```bash
+$ openqa-clone-job --from https://openqa.rockylinux.org --skip-download 22735 ISO=Rocky-9.1-x86_64-dvd.iso

+
+# How to create a live system to work on the documentation
+
+There are several ways how to setup your development environment, here are the currently used once by the testing team:
+
+## Vagrant
+
+For now here is the link to [Trevor's vagrant box setup](https://github.com/tcooper/rocky-linux-wikibox), this might be merged here in the future!
+
+## Manual setup for WSL and toolbox
+
+### WSL specific
+
+Create a WSL machine like [described here](https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/interoperability/import_rocky_to_wsl), make sure to give it a name like `rocky-wiki`.
+
+### toolbox specific
+
+- Make sure you have `toolbox` installed on your system
+- Create a toolbox `toolbox create rocky-wiki` (on Rocky Linux 8 and 9 machines this will create either a Rocky Linux 8 or 9 toolbox container)
+
+### Container setup for both
+
+- Run `dnf -y update` to update the system
+- Run `dnf -y install git python39-pip` to install Python 3.9 and pip (Python 3.9 is default for Rocky Linux 9, the package is called `python3-pip` there)
+- Run `python3.9 -m pip install -U pip` to update pip
+- Clone the repo `git clone <path-to-git-project>`
+- And get into the folder of the repo `cd <git-project-name>`
+- Sometimes you will need to switch the branch here
+- Install all the requirements of the repo `python3.9 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`
+- If you just want to look at the output run `mkdocs serve 2>&1 | tee ./mkdocs.serve.log`
+
+To develop then, the easiest way is to use VS Code with the [Remote - WSL](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl), where you have to open the repo in the container (click on the Remote symbol on the lower left, 'Open folder in WSL...').
+
+For toolbox just place the repo inside your user profile and you will be able to access it with VS Code inside and outside of the toolbox container.
+
+And finally run `mkdocs serve 2>&1 | tee ./mkdocs.serve.log` in the terminal of this VS Code session. Then you are ready to start changing stuff!
+
+## Docker
+
+From the root of this repository on a machine with Docker installed, run
+
+    docker-compose up
+
+When the container finishes starting up, you can access the documentation in your web browser at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000).

+title: Manual Install of openQA for rockylinux
+author: Alan Marshall
+version: v1.0
+revision_date: 2024-04-30
+rc:
+  prod: Rocky Linux
+  level: Issue
+---
+
+
+#### Intended Audience
+Those who wish to use the openQA automated testing system configured for Rocky Linux tests. If so, you will need a PC or server with hardware virtualisation running an up-to-date Fedora Linux.
+
+### Introduction
+This guide explains the use of the openQA automated testing system to test various aspects of Rocky Linux releases either at the pre-release stage or thereafter.
+
+openQA is an automated test tool that makes it possible to test the whole installation process. It uses virtual machines which it sets up to reproduce the process, check the output (both serial console and GUI screen) in every step and send the necessary keystrokes and commands to proceed to the next step. openQA checks whether the system can be installed, whether it works properly, whether applications work and whether the system responds as expected to different installation options and commands.
+
+Rocky Linux openQA tests can be found in the [os-autoinst-distri-rocky](https://github.com/rocky-linux/os-autoinst-distri-rocky) repository
+
+openQA can run numerous combinations of tests for every revision of the operating system, reporting the errors detected for each combination of hardware configuration, installation options and variant of the operating system.
+
+### WebUI
+The web UI is a very useful feature of the openQA system since it provides an easily accessed view of the progress and details of openQA tests either on the local machine or remotely or both. It is intended to be intuitive and self-explanatory.
+
+Some pages use queries to select what should be shown. The query parameters are generated on clickable links, for example starting from the index page or the group overview page clicking on single builds. On the query pages there can be UI elements to control the parameters, for example to look for older builds or show only failed jobs, or other settings. Additionally, the query parameters can be tweaked by hand if you want to provide a link to specific views.
+
+## Step-by-step Install Guide
+
+openQA can be installed only on a Fedora (or OpenSUSE) server or workstation. The following install procedure was tested on Fedora 40 Server. You can use either a local terminal or an ssh login from another host on the lan.
+
+```

+```
+You can watch progress of these tests on the webui on any browser on the same lan as the test host at 
+
+```http://<ip_addr_of_test_host>/tests```
+
+If you click "login" in the top right corner you will be able to control tests from the webui.
+
+At this point the multi-vm tests will fail or be skipped. This is because at the moment your system is configured for single vm deployment and it can be used as such. Pause your installation here if you wish to get some practice using openQA before progressing further (recommended).
+
+Installation of facilities for multi-vm testing, which is substantially more complicated, will be described in this document in a later revision (watch this space).
+
+
+### Helpers
+
+#### Createhdds
+```Createhdds``` is used to prepare ```.img``` and ```.qcow2``` files for some of the Rocky tests. If you ran the above procedure you will have noticed that it produces a number of files in ```/var/lib/openqa/factory/hdd/fixed``` determined by the files provided in [createhdds](https://github.com/rocky-linux/createhdds).
+
+#### openqa-cli
+
+Tests are normally posted using ```openqa-cli``` as you have already used above. Test parameters are listed and explained in the [openQA VARIABLES definition document](https://github.com/rocky-linux/os-autoinst-distri-rocky/blob/develop/VARIABLES.md)
+
+#### Scripts
+[helper scripts](https://github.com/rocky-linux/os-autoinst-distri-rocky/tree/develop/scripts) - 
+```cancel-build.sh``` is especially useful when you discover that you have initiated a large build and got it wrong... d'oh.
+
+### Using Templates
+
+#### Challenge
+One of the challenges that arises when testing an operating system, especially when doing continuous testing, is that there is always a certain combination of jobs, each one with its own settings, that needs to be run for every revision. These combinations can be different for different ```FLAVORs``` of the same revision, like running a different set of jobs for each architecture. This combinational problem can go one step further if openQA is being used for different kinds of tests, like running some simple pre-integration tests for some snapshots combined with more comprehensive post-integration tests for release candidates.
+
+This section describes how an instance of openQA *could* be configured using the options in the admin area of the webUI to automatically create all the required jobs for each revision of your operating system that needs to be tested. *If* you were starting from scratch (the difficult way), you would probably go through the following order:
+
+1. Define machines in 'Machines' menu
+1. Define medium types (products) you have in 'Medium types' menu
+1. Specify various collections of tests you want to run in the 'Test suites' menu
+1. Define job groups in 'Job groups' menu for groups of tests
+1. Select individual 'Job groups' and decide what combinations make sense and need to be tested
+
+If you followed the install guide above then the cloned Rocky tests from [os-autoinst-distri-rocky](https://github.com/rocky-linux/os-autoinst-distri-rocky) will have pre-configured the admin area of the webUI. You may find it useful to consult when reading the following sections.
+
+Machines, mediums, test suites and job templates can all set various configuration variables. The job templates within the job groups define how the test suites, mediums and machines should be combined in various ways to produce individual 'jobs'. All the variables from the test suite, medium, machine and job template are combined and made available to the actual test code run by the 'job', along with variables specified as part of the job creation request. Certain variables also influence openQA’s and/or os-autoinst’s own behavior in terms of how it configures the environment for the job.
+
+The configuration is set up from ```/var/lib/openqa/tests/rocky/templates.fif.json```
+
+#### Machines
+You need to have at least one machine set up to be able to run any tests. These machines represent virtual machine types that you want to test. Realistically to make tests actually happen, you have to have a number of ```openQA workers``` connected that can fulfill these specifications.
+
+- ```Name``` User defined ```string``` - only needed for operator to identify the machine configuration.
+- ```Backend``` What ```backend``` should be used for this ```machine``` Recommended value is ```qemu``` as it is the most tested one, but other options such as ```kvm2usb``` or ```vbox``` are also possible.
+- ```Variables``` Most machine variables influence os-autoinst’s behavior in terms of how the test machine is set up. A few important examples:
+    - ```QEMUCPU``` can be ```qemu32``` or ```qemu64``` and specifies the architecture of the virtual CPU
+    - ```QEMUCPUS``` is an ```integer``` that specifies the number of cores you wish to be used
+
+    - ```USBBOOT``` when set to ```1``` the image will be loaded through an emulated USB stick.
+
+#### Medium Types
+- ```product```
+    - A medium type ```product``` in openQA is a simple description without any definite meaning. It basically consists of a ```name``` and a set of ```variables``` that define or characterise this product in os-autoinst.
+
+Some example variables are:
+
+- ```ISO_MAXSIZE``` contains the maximum size of the ```product```. There is a test that checks that the current size of the product is less or equal than this variable.
+- ```DVD``` if it is set to ```1``` this indicates that the medium is a DVD.
+- ```LIVECD``` if it is set to ```1``` this indicates that the medium is a live image (can be a ```CD``` or ```USB```)
+- ```GNOME``` this variable, if it is set to ```1``` indicates that it is a ```GNOME``` only distribution.
+- ```RESCUECD``` is set to ```1``` for rescue CD images.
+
+#### Test Suites
+A test suite consists of a name and a set of test variables that are used inside this particular test together with an optional description. The test variables can be used to parameterise the actual test code and influence the behaviour according to the settings.
+
+Some sample variables are:
+
+- ```DESKTOP``` possible values are ```kde``` ```gnome``` ```lxde``` ```xfce``` or ```textmode```. Used to indicate the desktop selected by the user during the test.
+- ```ENCRYPT``` encrypt the home directory via ```YaST```
+- ```HDDSIZEGB``` hard disk size in GB.
+- ```HDD_1``` path for the pre-created hard disk
+- ```RAIDLEVEL RAID``` configuration variable
+
+#### Job Groups
+The job groups are the place where the actual test scenarios are defined by the selection of the medium type, the test suite and machine together with a priority value.
+
+The priority value is used in the scheduler to choose the next job. If multiple jobs are scheduled and their requirements for running them are fulfilled the ones with a lower priority value are triggered. The id is the second sorting key of two jobs with equal requirements and same priority value the one with lower id is triggered first.
+
+Job groups themselves can be created over the web UI as well as the REST API. Job groups can optionally be nested into categories. The display order of job groups and categories can be configured by drag-and-drop in the web UI.
+
+The scenario definitions within the job groups can be created and configured by different means:
+
+- A simple web UI wizard which is automatically shown for job groups when a new medium is added to the job group.
+- An intuitive table within the web UI for adding additional test scenarios to existing media including the possibility to configure the priority values.
+- The scripts ```openQA-load-templates``` and ```openQA-dump-templates``` to quickly dump and load the configuration from custom plain-text dump format files using the REST API.
+- Using declarative schedule definitions in the YAML format using REST API routes or an online-editor within the web UI including a syntax checker.
+
+### Needles
+Needles are very precise and the slightest deviation from the specified display will be detected. This means that every time there is a new release, very small changes occur in layout of displays resulting in many new or modified needles being required. There is always a significant amount of work needed by the Test Team to produce the automatic tests for a new version.
+
+A very useful feature of the webui is the online needle editor. When a test fails for a missing needle, the needle editor can be activated by clicking the icon and a new needle can be created, usually by copying a similar needle together with the current screenshot. The needle files are saved in the  ```/var/lib/openqa/tests/rocky/needles directory```
+
+### Upstream Documentation
+[Starter Guide](http://open.qa/docs/) and [Upstream documentation](https://github.com/os-autoinst/openqa/blob/master/docs/Installing.asciidoc) are useful for reference but since they are a mixture of advice and instructions relating to openSUSE and Fedora which have substantial differences between them it is not always clear which are significant for Rocky.  However, as an rpm based distribution, Rocky Linux use is loosely related to the [Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenQA) version.
+
+### Glossary
+The following terms are used within the context of openQA:-
+
+- test module
+    - An individual test case in a single perl module ```.pm``` file, e.g. ```sshxterm``` If not further specified a test module is denoted with its short ```name``` equivalent to the filename including the test definition. The full ```name``` is composed of the test group, which itself is formed by the top-folder of the test module file, and the short name, e.g. ```x11-sshxterm``` (for ```x11/sshxterm.pm```)
+
+- test suite
+    - A collection of test modules, e.g. ```textmode``` All test modules within one test suite are run serially
+
+    - One run of individual test cases in a row denoted by a unique number for one instance of openQA, e.g. one installation with subsequent testing of applications within ```gnome```
+
+- test run
+    - Equivalent to job
+- test result
+    - The result of one job, e.g. ```passed``` with the details of each individual test module
+- test step
+    - the execution of one test module within a job
+
+- distri
+    - A test distribution but also sometimes referring to a ```product``` (CAUTION: ambiguous, historically a "GNU/Linux distribution"), composed of multiple test modules in a folder structure that composes test suites, e.g. ```rocky``` (test distribution, short for ```os-autoinst-distri-rocky```)
+
+- product
+    - The main ```system under test (SUT)```  e.g. ```rocky``` also called ```Medium Types``` in the web interface of openQA
+
+- job group
+    - Equivalent to product, used in context of the webUI
+
+- version
+    - One version of a product, don’t confuse with ```build```
+
+- flavor
+    - Keyword for a specific variant of a product to distinguish differing variants, e.g. ```dvd-iso```
+
+- arch
+    - An architecture variant of a product, e.g. ```x86_64```
+
+- machine
+    - Additional variant of machine, e.g. used for ```64bit``` ```bios``` ```uefi``` etc.
+
+- scenario
+    - A composition of ```<distri>-<version>-<flavor>-<arch>-<test_suite>@<machine>``` e.g. ```Rocky-9-dvd-x86_64-gnome@64bit```
+
+- build
+    - Different versions of a product as tested, can be considered a ```sub-version``` of ```version```, e.g. ```Build1234``` CAUTION: ambiguity: either with the prefix ```build``` included or not
+
+### History (briefly)
+openQA started with OS-autoinst: automated testing of Operating Systems
+The OS-autoinst project aims at providing a means to run fully automated tests, especially to run tests of basic and low-level operating system components such as bootloader, kernel, installer and upgrade, which can not easily be tested with other automated testing frameworks. However, it can just as well be used to test firefox and openoffice operation on top of a newly installed OS.
+openQA is a test-scheduler and web-front for openSUSE and Fedora using OS-autoinst as a backend.
+openQA originated at openSuse and was adopted by Fedora as the automated test system for their frequent distribution updates. Maintenance activity is fairly intense and is ongoing at various levels of users. openQA was adopted by Rocky Linux Test Team as the preferred automated testing system for the ongoing releases of it's distribution.
+openQA is free software released under the GPLv2 license.
+
+### Attribution
+This guide is heavily inspired by the numerous upstream documents in which installation and usage of OS-autoinst and openQA are described.
+
+### References
+Since Rocky Linux use of openQA is drawn from upstream Fedora and hence openSUSE this document contains **many** passages which are edited versions of upstream documentation and that use is hereby gratefully acknowledged. As with many open source projects, we build on previous work.

+# Rocky Linux 8.6 QA and Testing Summary
+**_Last updated: Fri May 13 17:36:41 UTC 2022_**
+
+
+## Scope
+This document will record a summary of all QA and Testing results for Rocky Linux 8.6 release. It is only a record of success and/or failure. Solution discussion should take place elsewhere.
+
+
+## SOP
+-   Please include PASS, FAIL, NOTABUG, INVESTIGATE or UPSTREAM as appropriate in all entries.
+-   Please only provide brief summary. Details should go to Rocky Pastebin, links here is OK.
+-   Especially for an negative result please leave your MM @handle so we can talk to you to get resolution.
+-   If the item you are reported is related to a QA:Testcase please mention it. If it should be a QA:Testcase, even if it's not a current requirement, suggest a title and create an issue in the wiki repository so we can add it.
+
+
+## INVESTIGATE
+-   errors in all tests in openQA - INVESTIGATE - see openQA section below.
+-   INVESTIGATE whether kdump issue affects qcows with encrypted partitions in createhdds. These are pre-reqs for openQA multi-machine tests. NOTE: This is addressed below in section - @tcooper
+-   KDE and XFCE Life images are broken - INVESTIGATE - @label
+
+
+## UPSTREAM
+-   Anaconda error when specific steps get executed in the right order (configure network -> disable kdump -> select some os install group -> configure default storage -> configure the storage a second time, but this time with encryption enabled, confirmed via several openqa test suites and manual installation on ESXi) - retested in RC1_2 - UPSTREAM - @lumarel
+-   Issue repeated on RHEL8.6 - @atomicturtle
+-   Issue reported to RH https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2085321 - @stack

+-   Minimal ISO: is missing the source for rsyslog again, and somehow also doesn't pull it in when installing, which means it is missing it after the install (doesn't happen for boot ISO and dvd1 ISO) - NOTABUG (per @label) - @lumarel
+-   Minimal ISO: if the server base environment is installed with the minimal iso and cockpit is enabled after the installation, the SELinux submenu shows an error "semanage: command not found" (doesn't happen with boot/dvd-iso) - also marked as expected - NOTABUG (per @label) - @lumarel
+
+

+
+# {{ rc.prod }} {{ rc.ver }} {{ rc.level }} Release Objectives
+
+The objective of a release (major or minor) is to provide a solid Enterprise Linux release that is suitable to:
+
+- Meet the needs of end users
+- Meet the needs of enterprises big or small
+
+## {{ rc.prod }} {{ rc.ver }} {{ rc.level }} Release Requirements
+
+In order for {{ rc.prod }} to be released to the general public, a compose must be able to meet all the following criteria as provided in this document. This is allows the decision process to be straightforward and as clear as possible. This document only contains “hard requirement” items. Optional/nice to have items are not to be included in this list.
+
+There may cases where a requirement cannot be met but only in particular configurations. In these types of cases, the Release Engineering Team should use their judgement to determine whether or not the issue should be considered to block the release. They should consider the number of users likely to be affected by said issue, the severity of the case, if the issue can be avoided with ease (by both informed and uninformed users), and if the problem exists upstream in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux that the release is based on.
+
+!!! info "Release-blocking Server"
+    ...means bugs as it pertains to server functionality can be considered to block a release. This applies to any packages that provide a service such as httpd, nginx, etc. All architectures apply.
+
+!!! info "Release-blocking Desktop"
+    ...means bugs as it pertains to desktop functionality (GNOME) can be considered to block a release. This applies to both x86_64 and aarch64. Additional desktops (as provided by EPEL or a SIG) are not considered blockers.
+
+!!! info "Release-blocking Image"
+    ...means bugs as it pertains to the images built that can block a release. This applies to the DVD, minimal, and boot images on all architectures.
+
+### Initialization Requirements
+
+#### Release-blocking images must boot
+
+Release-blocking installer images must boot when written to optical media or USB flash drive of appropriate sizes (if applicable) via officially supported methods. It is not the testing team’s responsibility to test optical media, but they can and report back. If a bug is found, it is considered a blocker.
+
+??? tldr "Optical Media Requirements"
+    Release-blocking images must boot when written to optical media of an appropriate size. Current size requirements are: boot.iso = 789M, minimal.iso = 2.0G and dvd.iso = 10G.
+
+??? tldr "Officially supported USB flash drive writing methods"
+    The following methods of writing USB flash drives are officially support: dd<br>
+    The following methods of writing USB flash drives are _**not**_ supported: rufus
+
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Boot Methods Boot ISO](Testcase_Boot_Methods_Boot_Iso.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Boot Methods DVD](Testcase_Boot_Methods_Dvd.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Media USB dd](Testcase_Media_USB_dd.md)
+
+#### Basic Graphics Mode behaviors
+The generic video driver option (“basic graphics mode”) on all release-blocking installers must function as intended. This means launching the installer or desktop and attempting to use a generic driver. There must be no bugs that prevent the installer from being reached in this configuration on all systems and classes of hardware supported by the enterprise linux kernel.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Basic Graphics Mode](Testcase_Basic_Graphics_Mode.md)
+
+#### No Broken Packages
+Critical errors, such as undeclared conflicts, unresolved dependencies, or modules relying on packages from another stream will be considered an automatic blocker. There are potential exceptions to this (eg, freeradius cannot be installed on an older perl stream, this is a known issue upstream).

+        - [QA:Testcase Media Repoclosure](Testcase_Media_Repoclosure.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Media File Conflicts](Testcase_Media_File_Conflicts.md)
+
+#### Repositories Must Match Upstream
+Repositories and the packages within them should match upstream as closely as possible. Notable exceptions would be kmods, kpatch, or what is deemed as “spyware” like insights. Packages that are available from upstream should not have hard requirements on RHSM and packages that have it default built in should be patched out.
+??? tldr "References"

+        - [QA:Testcase Repo Compare](Testcase_Repo_Compare.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Packages No Insights](Testcase_Packages_No_Insights.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Packages No RHSM](Testcase_Packages_No_RHSM.md)
+
+#### Debranding
+Assets and functionality that are Red Hat specific should not be included. If they are not patched out, it will be considered an automatic blocker.

+        - [QA:Testcase Debranding](Testcase_Debranding.md)
+
+### Installer Requirements
+
+#### Media Consistency Verification
+This means that the installer’s mechanism for verifying the install medium is intact and must complete successfully, with the assumption that the medium was correctly written. It should return a failure message if this not the case.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Media USB dd](Testcase_Media_USB_dd.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Boot Methods Boot ISO](Testcase_Boot_Methods_Boot_Iso.md)

+
+#### Packages and Installer Sources
+The installer must be able to use all supported local/remote packages and installer sources.
+??? tldr "References"

+
+#### NAS (Network Attached Storage)"
+The installer must be able to detect and install to supported NAS devices (if possible and supported by the kernel).
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Network Attached Storage](Testcase_Network_Attached_Storage.md)
+
+#### Installation Interfaces
+The installer must be able to complete an installation using all supported spokes.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Installation Interfaces](Testcase_Installation_Interfaces.md)

+#### Kickstart Installation
+A kickstart installation should succeed, whether from optical/USB media or via the network.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Kickstart Installation](Testcase_Kickstart_Installation.md)
+
+#### Disk Layouts
+The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system or format combination offered or supported by the installer. File systems that are not supported by the EL kernel is not tested here (this means btrfs, zfs, both of wish are not supported).
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Disk Layouts](Testcase_Disk_Layouts.md)
+
+#### Firmware RAID
+The installer must be able to detect and install to firmware RAID devices. Note that system-specific bugs do not count as blockers. It is likely that some hardware support might be broken or not available at all. DUDs (driver update disks) are not considered for this criteria.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Firmware RAID](Testcase_Firmware_RAID.md)

+        - [QA:Testcase Bootloader Disk Selection](Testcase_Bootloader_Disk_Selection.md)
+
+#### Storage Volume Resize
+Any installer mechanism for resizing storage volumes must correctly attempt the requested operation. This means that if the installer offers a way to resize storage volumes, then it must use the correct resizing tool with the correct parameters. However, it does not require the installer to disallow resizing of unformatted or volumes with an unknown filesystem type.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Storage Volume Resize](Testcase_Storage_Volume_Resize.md)

+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Update Image](Testcase_Update_Image.md)
+
+#### Installer Help
+Any element in the installer which contains a “help” text must display the appropriate help documentation when selected.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Installer Help](Testcase_Installer_Help.md)

+# {{ rc.prod }} {{ rc.ver }} QA and Testing : GO / NO GO Status
+This document summarizes the GO / NO GO Status for Release of Rocky Linux 9.0 from perspective of the QA / Testing efforts. It is based largely on the Release Criteria (https://wiki.rockylinux.org/team/testing/release_criteria/) as was started as an import of that document. If there are differences between the official Release Critieria document and this document the official Release Criteria document will override and this document shall be updated.
+
+As a reminder, the objective of a release (major or minor) is to provide a solid Enterprise Linux release that is suitable to:
+-   Meet the needs of end users
+-   Meet the needs of enterprises big or small

+# {{ rc.prod }} {{ rc.ver }} {{ rc.level }} Release Objectives
+
+The objective of a release (major or minor) is to provide a solid Enterprise Linux release that is suitable to:
+
+- Meet the needs of end users
+- Meet the needs of enterprises big or small
+
+## {{ rc.prod }} {{ rc.ver }} {{ rc.level }} Release Requirements
+
+In order for {{ rc.prod }} to be released to the general public, a compose must be able to meet all the following criteria as provided in this document. This is allows the decision process to be straightforward and as clear as possible. This document only contains “hard requirement” items. Optional/nice to have items are not to be included in this list.
+
+There may cases where a requirement cannot be met but only in particular configurations. In these types of cases, the Release Engineering Team should use their judgement to determine whether or not the issue should be considered to block the release. They should consider the number of users likely to be affected by said issue, the severity of the case, if the issue can be avoided with ease (by both informed and uninformed users), and if the problem exists upstream in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux that the release is based on.
+
+!!! info "Release-blocking Server"
+    ...means bugs as it pertains to server functionality can be considered to block a release. This applies to any packages that provide a service such as httpd, nginx, etc. All architectures apply.
+
+!!! info "Release-blocking Desktop"
+    ...means bugs as it pertains to desktop functionality (GNOME) can be considered to block a release. This applies to both x86_64 and aarch64. Additional desktops (as provided by EPEL or a SIG) are not considered blockers.
+
+!!! info "Release-blocking Image"
+    ...means bugs as it pertains to the images built that can block a release. This applies to the DVD, minimal, and boot images on all architectures.
+
+### Initialization Requirements
+
+#### Release-blocking images must boot
+
+Release-blocking installer images must boot when written to optical media or USB flash drive of appropriate sizes (if applicable) via officially supported methods. It is not the testing team’s responsibility to test optical media, but they can and report back. If a bug is found, it is considered a blocker.
+
+??? tldr "Optical Media Requirements"
+    Release-blocking images must boot when written to optical media of an appropriate size. Current size requirements are: boot.iso = 789M, minimal.iso = 2.0G and dvd.iso = 10G.
+
+??? tldr "Officially supported USB flash drive writing methods"
+    The following methods of writing USB flash drives are officially support: dd<br>
+    The following methods of writing USB flash drives are _**not**_ supported: rufus
+
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Boot Methods Boot ISO](Testcase_Boot_Methods_Boot_Iso.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Boot Methods DVD](Testcase_Boot_Methods_Dvd.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Media USB dd](Testcase_Media_USB_dd.md)
+
+#### VNC Graphics Mode behaviors
+The VNC installation option on all release-blocking installers must function as intended. This means launching the installer or desktop and connecting with VNC to complete the installation. There must be no bugs that prevent the installer from being reached in this configuration on all systems and classes of hardware supported by the enterprise linux kernel.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase VNC Graphics Mode](Testcase_VNC_Graphics_Mode.md)
+
+#### No Broken Packages
+Critical errors, such as undeclared conflicts, unresolved dependencies, or modules relying on packages from another stream will be considered an automatic blocker. There are potential exceptions to this (eg, freeradius cannot be installed on an older perl stream, this is a known issue upstream).
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Media Repoclosure](Testcase_Media_Repoclosure.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Media File Conflicts](Testcase_Media_File_Conflicts.md)
+
+#### Repositories Must Match Upstream
+Repositories and the packages within them should match upstream as closely as possible. Notable exceptions would be kmods, kpatch, or what is deemed as “spyware” like insights. Packages that are available from upstream should not have hard requirements on RHSM and packages that have it default built in should be patched out.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Repo Compare](Testcase_Repo_Compare.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Packages No Insights](Testcase_Packages_No_Insights.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Packages No RHSM](Testcase_Packages_No_RHSM.md)
+
+#### Debranding
+Assets and functionality that are Red Hat specific should not be included. If they are not patched out, it will be considered an automatic blocker.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Debranding](Testcase_Debranding.md)
+
+### Installer Requirements
+
+#### Media Consistency Verification
+This means that the installer’s mechanism for verifying the install medium is intact and must complete successfully, with the assumption that the medium was correctly written. It should return a failure message if this not the case.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Media USB dd](Testcase_Media_USB_dd.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Boot Methods Boot ISO](Testcase_Boot_Methods_Boot_Iso.md)
+        - [QA:Testcase Boot Methods DVD](Testcase_Boot_Methods_Dvd.md)
+
+#### Packages and Installer Sources
+The installer must be able to use all supported local/remote packages and installer sources.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Packages and Installer Sources](Testcase_Packages_Installer_Sources.md)
+
+#### NAS (Network Attached Storage)"
+The installer must be able to detect and install to supported NAS devices (if possible and supported by the kernel).
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Network Attached Storage](Testcase_Network_Attached_Storage.md)
+
+#### Installation Interfaces
+The installer must be able to complete an installation using all supported spokes.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Installation Interfaces](Testcase_Installation_Interfaces.md)
+
+#### Minimal Installation
+A minimal installation (via network) must be able to install the minimal package set.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Minimal Installation](Testcase_Minimal_Installation.md)
+
+#### Kickstart Installation
+A kickstart installation should succeed, whether from optical/USB media or via the network.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Kickstart Installation](Testcase_Kickstart_Installation.md)
+
+#### Disk Layouts
+The installer must be able to create and install to any workable partition layout using any file system or format combination offered or supported by the installer. File systems that are not supported by the EL kernel is not tested here (this means btrfs, zfs, both of wish are not supported).
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Disk Layouts](Testcase_Disk_Layouts.md)
+
+#### Firmware RAID
+The installer must be able to detect and install to firmware RAID devices. Note that system-specific bugs do not count as blockers. It is likely that some hardware support might be broken or not available at all. DUDs (driver update disks) are not considered for this criteria.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Firmware RAID](Testcase_Firmware_RAID.md)
+
+#### Bootloader Disk Selection
+The installer must allow the user to choose which disk the bootloader will be installed to or, if the user so chooses, not to install a bootloader.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Bootloader Disk Selection](Testcase_Bootloader_Disk_Selection.md)
+
+#### Storage Volume Resize
+Any installer mechanism for resizing storage volumes must correctly attempt the requested operation. This means that if the installer offers a way to resize storage volumes, then it must use the correct resizing tool with the correct parameters. However, it does not require the installer to disallow resizing of unformatted or volumes with an unknown filesystem type.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Storage Volume Resize](Testcase_Storage_Volume_Resize.md)
+
+#### Update Image
+The installer must be able to use an installer update image retrieved from removable media or a remote package source. This includes DUDs (driver update disks).
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Update Image](Testcase_Update_Image.md)
+
+#### Installer Help
+Any element in the installer which contains a “help” text must display the appropriate help documentation when selected.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Installer Help](Testcase_Installer_Help.md)
+
+#### Installer Translations
+The installer must correctly display all complete translations that are available for use.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase Installer Translations](Testcase_Installer_Translations.md)
+
+### Cloud Image Requirements
+#### Images Published to Cloud Providers
+Release-blocking cloud disk images must be published to appropriate cloud providers (such as Amazon) and they must successfully boot. This also applies to KVM based instances, such as x86 and aarch64 systems.
+??? tldr "References"
+    - Test cases:
+        - [QA:Testcase TBD](Testcase_Template.md)
+
+### Post-Installation Requirements

+title: 'SOP: Repocompare'
+---
+
+This SOP covers how to perform the repocompare process, to ensure that Rocky's package repositories are up-to-date with the RHEL package repositories.
+
+{% include "contacts_top.md" %}
+
+To identify which packages may need updates, visit the appropriate [RepoCompare](https://repocompare.rockylinux.org){target=_blank} page, focusing on the **SRPM Repo Comparison** page for each version.
+Packages where the **Rocky** version is **lower** than the **RHEL** version likely require an update - you can do a manual comparison to be sure.
+
+## Setup
+
+From a **RHEL8 machine with a valid entitlement**, obtain the repocompare repository:
+
+``` bash linenums="1"
+git clone https://git.resf.org/testing/repocompare
+cd repocompare/
+```
+
+Import the RPM GPG keys for both Rocky and RHEL
+
+``` bash linenums="1"
+curl -O http://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-8
+curl -O http://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-9
+rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-8
+rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-9
+rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/redhat-official
+```
+
+## Comparing a package
+
+If the Name/Epoch/Version/Release (NEVR) for the RHEL package is newer than the one for the Rocky package, the package requires an update. In this situation, there will also likely be a newer entry in the changelog for the RHEL package, as shown below:
+
+``` bash linenums="1"
+./manual_compare.sh 9 AppStream golang
+Rocky Linux 9.2    golang 1.19.9 2.el9_2 * Tue May 23 2023 Alejandro Sáez <asm@redhat.com> - 1.19.9-2
+Red Hat            golang 1.19.10 1.el9_2 * Tue Jun 06 2023 David Benoit <dbenoit@redhat.com> - 1.19.10-1
+```
+
+Notice that the Red Hat golang package has a higher version than the Rocky Linux 9.2 package. It also has a newer entry in its changelog.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+Some packages are not considered relevant for repocompare purposes. These include:
+
+``` bash linenums="1"
+rhc
+shim-unsigned
+# Any package that exists in RHEL but not in Rocky (denoted by **DOES NOT EXIST** in the Rocky column on the repocompare website)
+```
