Description

Tests that persistent disk can be used when upgrading the SDK.

Pre Conditions

  1. Download the virtual machine image for the latest SDK release from:

    2. https://images.apertis.org/

  2. Make a note of release version e.g v2020dev0
  3. Create a virtual machine, and name it old-sdk or old-basesdk
  4. Create a Full Clone of the virtual machine and name the clone new-sdk or new-basesdk:

    5. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch01.html#clone

  5. Instructions on how to use the SDK persistent workspace on VirtualBox:

    6. https://developer.apertis.org/latest/sdk-usage.html#persistent-workspace

Execution Steps

  1. The following steps are for the SDK virtual machine named with old:
  2. Power on the virtual machine, and open a terminal
  3. Create a file called 90proxy under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d and enter the IP of your OSD in the file
  4. Acquire::http::Proxy "http://10.168.128.45:3128"; Acquire::https::Proxy "http://10.168.128.45:3128";
  5. Power off the virtual machine
  6. On VirtualBox add the persistent disk to the SDK virtual machine:

  7. Power on the virtual machine
  8. Use psdk to initialize the empty disk and to configure the SDK to use it:

    9. https://developer.apertis.org/latest/sdk-usage.html#preparing-the-persistent-disk-on-the-old-sdk

  9. The SDK will reboot when the configuration is completed. After the reboot click on psdk icon again to confirm that the persistent disk is in use
  10. The psdk needs to include the configuration file on the persistent disk, to do that enter the following command on the terminal
    11. $ psdk -e /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90proxy
  11. Power off the virtual machine
  12. The following steps are for the SDK virtual machine named with new
  13. On VirtualBox add the same persistent disk used on previous steps to the SDK virtual machine:

    14. https://developer.apertis.org/latest/sdk-usage.html#virtualbox-adding-the-persistent-disk-to-the-new-sdk

  14. Power on the virtual machine
  15. Use psdk to configure the SDK to use the persistent disk:

    16. https://developer.apertis.org/latest/sdk-usage.html#using-the-persistent-disk-on-the-new-sdk

  16. The SDK will reboot when the configuration is completed. After the reboot click on psdk icon again to confirm that the persistent disk is in use
  17. Check that the 90proxy file is present under /etc/apt/apt.conf.d folder in the NEW SDK
  18. Power off the virtual machine

Expected

Changes made in the etc folder should get reflected in the new sdk
