2022-08-31 18:58:43 Rod Smith description The efi-pxeboot.py test script considers machines that booted via HTTP to have failed. This should probably be changed, since we're really concerned about NETWORK booting, not PXE-BOOTING specifically. An example failure is here: https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/202007-28031/submission/278208/ The efi-pxeboot.py test script may consider machines that booted via HTTP to have failed. This should be checked. I originally thought the following submission showed a false alarm failure because of this: https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/202007-28031/submission/278208/ On closer examination, the machine booted from hard disk, but has an HTTP-boot option that should have been used but wasn't. Thus, I'm not sure the test script is wrong; but it should be checked to see that it will work correctly, as HTTP-booting is becoming more common.

Thus, I'm not sure the test script is wrong; but it should be checked to see that it will work correctly, as HTTP-booting is becoming more common. The efi-pxeboot.py test script looks for keywords like "PXE" and "Network" in the boot order strings to determine whether the machine booted from hard disk or network. I originally thought the following submission showed a false alarm failure because the machine booted via HTTP rather than PXE: https://certification.canonical.com/hardware/202007-28031/submission/278208/ On closer examination, the machine booted from hard disk, but has an HTTP-boot option that should have been used but wasn't. The description includes the string "Network", which is searched for, so it SHOULD work; however, adding "HTTP" to the searched-for keywords would be worthwhile.
