manila-tempest-*-centos-7 jobs are broken

[Goutham Pacha Ravi]

There are three centos-7 jobs in the check queue in manila (manila-tempest-minimal-dsvm-cephfs-native-centos-7, manila-tempest-minimal-dsvm-cephfs-nfs-centos-7 and manila-tempest-minimal-dsvm-lvm-centos-7). All three of these jobs fail during DevStack setup:

2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | One of the configured repositories failed (CentOS-7 - QEMU EV),
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | packages for the previous distribution release still work).
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | 3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
2018-05-17 16:07:04.775 | yum --disablerepo=centos-qemu-ev ...
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | 4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | yum-config-manager --disable centos-qemu-ev
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | or
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | subscription-manager repos --disable=centos-qemu-ev
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | 5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | compromise:
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 |
2018-05-17 16:07:04.776 | yum-config-manager --save --setopt=centos-qemu-ev.skip_if_unavailable=true

There was a recent change announced on the CentOS mailing lists (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2018-March/016542.html) regarding housing centos-release-SIG repos for CPU architectures other than x86_64. We rely on centos-release-pike within our test jobs and the repo centos-qemu-ev is found under http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/kvm-common.

To accommodate "altarch"s, there is now a YUM variable called $contentdir which determines where the repos may be:

They'd be in either of the following two folders:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/virt

With $contentdir set, the URL resolves correctly: http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/7/virt

    Fix manila-tempest-*-centos-7 jobs

    There was a recent change announced on the CentOS
    mailing lists [1] regarding housing centos-release-SIG
    repos for CPU architectures other than x86_64. We rely on
    centos-release-pike within our test jobs and the
    repo centos-qemu-ev is found under [2].

    There is now a YUM variable called $contentdir
    which determines where the repos may be, and this
    variable isn't set in the base images.

    With $contentdir set, the URLs resolve correctly
    within /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-QEMU-EV.repo.

    See corresponding fixes for kolla [3] and
    tripleo-quickstart-extras [4]
