KVM autotest tip of the week

KVM autotest tip of the week

[Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues]

Hi guys,

On an effort to make KVM autotest better and more useful for our target
users (KVM developers), we are expanding documentation and writing
articles on how to get some commonly asked test jobs running (I plan on
get this going at least for some weeks).

So here is our first KVM autotest tip of the week

"How to install windows virtio drivers automatically with KVM autotest?"

http://autotest.kernel.org/wiki/KVMAutotest/InstallWinVirtio

So if you ever wondered how to do that, please take a look, and give us
your feedback.

Cheers,

The KVM autotest team

Basic question for a future week:
How do I run a single test on a specific VM configuration (e.g. Fedora
guest, rtl8139, virtio-blk disk)?

Ideally this would use a pre-installed guest image (for userspace
tests).  This would be very handy for reproducing test failures,
developing new tests, or just wanting to make sure a code change
doesn't break a specific test.

Will think about a sensible way to make things easier.
