# Multi-arch Pipeline debug-pod: | ||
This document contains the background infomation and steps to access the debug-pod for multi-arch builders. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Introduction to debug-pod: | ||
|
||
A debug-pod inside the Fedora CoreOS Pipeline and RedHat CoreOS Pipeline sets up a session on a remote multi-arch builder and then creates a tmux session that can be re-attached to by the user. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Why use a debug-pod? | ||
|
||
Team members would need access to multi arch builders for debugging failed tests and developing new features. A debug-pod would be helpful to operate at such instances. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Steps to request a debug-pod: | ||
|
||
- User requests a debug-pod in Jenkins: | ||
- In the Jenkins UI start a 'debug-pod' job and set the parameters - 'stream', 'arch', 'cosa_img' and 'timeout' value. The timeout is set to be 8 hours by default. | ||
|
||
- After the build is triggered, this job spins up and starts a remote session on the builder of the user's chosen architecture and sets up the COSA environment. | ||
|
||
- The user would be able to access the pod that was created using 'oc' CLI or Open shift web interface. The pod created could be identified using the prefix "debug-pod" followed by the "username". | ||
- for example: `oc rsh pod/debug-pod-username-ppc64le-cf5af868-bvx3s-d5df4` | ||
|
||
- After accessing the terminal of the running pod entering "tmux attach" will open a session with two panes. The top pane will be a ssh shell on the remote builder and the bottom pane will be a COSA shell in a remote session. The arch requested would be displayed in the COSA shell. | ||
