Greetings Red Hat Partners, We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of Red Hat Certification 7.9 and its 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-backend-7.9-20200331.el8.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-baremetal-7.9-20200331.el8.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-7.9-20200331.el8.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-7.9-20200331.el8.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-preview-7.9-20200331.el8.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-openstack-7.9-20200331.el8.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-software-7.9-20200331.el8.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-7.9-20200331.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-7.9-20200331.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-baremetal-7.9-20200331.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-7.9-20200331.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-7.9-20200331.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-preview-7.9-20200331.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-openstack-7.9-20200331.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-7.9-20200331.el6.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-7.9-20200331.el6.noarch.rpm This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows: 1. iPXE is added as a certifiable hardware feature for RHEL 8 hardware certification. This includes a new "ipxe" test in the test suite as well as an iPXE feature in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog. This ipxe test checks the underlying NIC for iPXE using a combination of a preconfigured iPXE boot image and an HTTP boot call against the LTS. Further details on how to test iPXE for certification can be seen in the Red Hat Hardware Certification Test Suite User Guide. 2. New 200Gbps versions of the hardware certification network and RDMA tests are added. The new tests include 200GigEthernet, Infiniband_HDR, 200GigRoCE, and 200GigiWarp tests respectively. 3. A regression in the hardware certification network test which would cause the wireless test to fail on RHEL 8 is fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1799066). This bug was introduced in the hardware certification network test with redhat-certification 7.6 and resulted in ifup/ifdown being used instead of the nmcli command. 4. The memory quantity check has been updated for the RHEL 8 minimum requirement of 1.5GB per logical core. The RHEL 7 minimum requirement has not been changed and remains at 1GB per logical core. This check is now also implemented as a planning condition for the hardware certification memory, core, realtime and all the full-virtualization tests, for all the supported platform versions. If the minimum memory per core is not met in the current SUT these tests will not plan by default as testing would be impacted for viability of the test run and/or viability of receiving certification credit for the run. Users may choose to manually plan these tests in such conditions. 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 Ecosystem Partner Management.
