Activating Seabios debug logging in a Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployment
Issue
- In some cases, it might be useful to have the BIOS debug logs to understand an issue.
- QEMU allows the creation of devices that tap on the debug console of the BIOS
- There's no way to pass custom QEMU arguments in OpenStack, we need to have a QEMU wrapper
Environment
- Red Hat OpenStack Platform - Lab environment
Please note that this is not a permanent solution for production environment. This implementation might affect all the instances running on a compute node.
