Hi Robin:
Quickbuild Version: 8.0.5
We at Intel are seeing a bit of a disturbing problem; occasionally our configuration steps run out of order. We've seen this only on Windows agents -- virtual machines on a Hyper-V host. At least 95% of the times the build steps execute correctly. But from time-to-time, for whatever reason, they execute out of order. We have >350 Windows Server 2016 virtual machine agents on Hyper-V hosts attached to our QB Server. Our Windows Administrators are investigating the possibility the issue is associated with our Hyper-V setup. Before diving into an upgrade to version 8 latest or version 9, would it be possible to have a quick conference call to filter out any possibilities this is not a Quickbuild issue? This issue is rapidly gaining visibility with our firmware development management team, so we'd like to get it addressed as soon a possible.
Attached is a screenshot of the out-of-order step execution (out_of_order_execution.png), and a screenshot of how the steps are actually defined in the QB configuration (defined_step_order.png).
Thanks Robin.
