  • Related issues #2023 Legacy Iso for older servers

Verification Steps

BIOS Test

  1. Build harvester-installer
  2. Boot build artifact using BIOS Legacy mode: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -cdrom ../dist/artifacts/harvester-master-amd64
  3. Verify that the installer boot process reaches the screen that says “Create New Cluster” or “Join existing cluster”

UEFI Test

  1. Build harvester-installer (or use the same one from the BIOS Test, it’s a hybrid ISO)
  2. Boot build artifact using UEFI mode: qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048 -cdrom ../dist/artifacts/harvester-master-amd64 -bios /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64.bin (OVMF is a port of the UEFI firmware to qemu)
  3. Verify that the installer boot process reaches the screen that says “Create New Cluster” or “Join existing cluster”
