Greetings Red Hat Partners, We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of updated Red Hat Certification 5.1 and associated test suite package updates (listed below). This Red Hat Certification package update *is* an official release and should be used for all new Red Hat certification submissions. Successful results from the previous certification test suite will be accepted for a period of 90 days.
The updated Red Hat Certification packages listed below are available on the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following location: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/282/ redhat-certification-5.1-20170908.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-5.1-20170908.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-5.1-20170908.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-ironic-preview-5.1-20170908.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-preview-5.1-20170908.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-openstack-5.1-20170908.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-5.1-20170907.1.el6.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-5.1-20170907.1.el6.noarch.rpm This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows: 1. File attachments including specification and other documentation can now be uploaded from the rhcert WUI using the Dialog tab on a Certification page. 2. The sosreport check in the cloud/supportable, hwcert/info and openstack/supportable sub-tests is now split out into new test called {cloud|hwcert|openstack}/sosreport. This test is required for all runs and scheduled by default. It will run after the rhcert/selfcheck test to capture an sos report ahead of any possible fatal failures occurring during other testing. 3. The open ports check in the cloud/configuration test will now confirm open ports using the external IP of the image under test instead of localhost. This improves the accuracy of which ports are accessible to the outside versus open locally. 4. The hardware/info test will now recognize the 7.4 GA kernel when executed in stand-alone environments where the test cannot reach the redhat-certification services. 5. The services check in the cloud/configuration test now confirms that the running services are enabled in the runlevel and that services not running are disabled in the runlevel. The services check test now also includes additional logging in the root user services control check. 6. The create new Red Hat OpenStack Platform Server certifications properly enforces the requirement that the RHEL Server certification be completed first. 7. Leverage can now be specified on the Progress page for hardware certifications in the rhcert WUI. Both per test leveraging from a system certification as well as certification leveraging from a component certification are supported. 8. A new redhat-certification-ironic-preview package is provided as an early access to BMC/server management tests for use in Red Hat OpenStack Platform certifications. These tests may be executed from a certification sandbox in the rhcert WUI. New certifications related to BMC/Server management can not be created at this time. Red Hat will provide additional program information in the future prior to enabling such certifications. 9. Various cleanups and administrative changes in the hardware-preview package content have been made. The preview packages provide tests that are not part of official certifications at this time. The complete changelog for each package may be found on the download page by selecting the package name followed by selecting the ChangeLog tab. If you encounter any problems, please file bugs against the "Red Hat Certification Program" product in Red Hat Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com). Note that this may be a change from some users who are used to using the old "Red Hat Hardware Certification Program" product. We value your ongoing participation in Red Hat certification, software development, and testing efforts. Thank you for your continued partnership. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact your partner manager or engineering account manager.
