Job submit

Jobs can be submitted from either the web interface, lavacli or the REST API.

QEMU job

You will start with this simple QEMU job:

```yaml device_type: qemu job_name: simple qemu job

timeouts: job: minutes: 20 priority: medium visibility: public

context: arch: amd64

actions: - deploy: to: tmpfs timeout: minutes: 20 images: rootfs: url: http://images.validation.linaro.org/kvm/debian-sid-2014_08_21-amd64.qcow2.xz image_arg: -drive format=qcow2,file={rootfs} compression: xz os: debian

• boot: method: qemu media: tmpfs timeout: minutes: 5 prompts:

  • 'root@debian:~#' auto_login: login_prompt: "login:" username: root

• test: timeout: minutes: 5 definitions:

  • repository: https://github.com/Linaro/test-definitions from: git path: automated/linux/smoke/smoke.yaml parameters: SKIP_INSTALL: true name: smoke-tests
  • repository: https://github.com/Linaro/test-definitions from: git path: automated/linux/meminfo/meminfo.yaml parameters: SKIP_INSTALL: true name: meminfo

```

Tip

If /dev/kvm is unavailable on the worker, it can be disabled by adding no_kvm: true to the job context.

Web interface

In order to submit from the web interface, you should first login and then go to Scheduler > Submit.

In the submit page, copy and paste the job definition and click on Validate.

The server will validate the job definition and return any errors or warning found.

If the job is valid, the Submit button will become active. Clicking on it will actually submit the job.

lavacli

In order to submit using lavacli, start by installing and configure lavacli with the lavacli tutorial.

Submit the job with: shell lavacli -i <identity> jobs submit qemu.yaml

lavacli will submit and print the job identifier that you can use to inspect the current job.

shell lavacli -i <identity> jobs show <id> lavacli -i <identity> jobs logs <id> lavacli -i <identity> jobs wait <id>
