Greetings Red Hat Partners, We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of Red Hat Certification 7.35 and associated test suite package updates (listed below). This Red Hat Certification package update *is* an official release and should be used for new Red Hat certification submissions. Successful results from the previous certification test suite will be accepted for a period of 90 days.
This release of redhat-certification 7.35 coincides with the first release of the Red Hat Certification 8.x series, redhat-certification 8.35. A separate announcement will be sent for redhat-certification 8.35. Please note that redhat-certification 7.35 does not include .el8 builds and does not support certification testing of RHEL 8 and corresponding products. The previous release of the Red Hat Certification 7 may continue to be utilized for certification testing of RHEL 8 and corresponding products certifications per the normal 90 days window. To summarize the change using the language of local test server (LTS) and system under test (SUT), redhat-certification 7.35 will continue to function as an LTS on RHEL 7 for testing of a SUT running RHEL 7 or RHEL 8, but it cannot be installed on a RHEL 8 SUT. For testing of a RHEL 8 SUT you will need to install the redhat-certification 8.35 packages on the SUT. Alternatively the Red Hat Certification hosted environment ( https://rhcert.connect.redhat.com) may be used in place of an LTS for requesting new certs, uploading results, engaging in dialog and managing your certifications. 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-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-baremetal-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-sap-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-hardware-preview-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-openstack-7.35-20211005.1.el7.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-backend-7.35-20211005.1.el6.noarch.rpm redhat-certification-cloud-7.35-20211005.1.el6.noarch.rpm The Red Hat Certification management interface on Red Hat Partner Connect, which is available at https://rhcert.connect.redhat.com, has been updated to use these packages. This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows: New features Program Details All RHEL 8 and related product testing moves to redhat-certification-8 - The first release of redhat-certification-8 assumes the responsibility of certification testing for RHEL 8 and related products. - See the redhat-certification-8 announcement for further details. Bug fixes Program Details Hardware Certification Fixed the ndctl package dependency in the NVDIMM storage test - The installation of redhat-certification-hardware package could fail on s390x system due to the unavailability of ndctl package on RHEL 7.6 and older. - This ndctl package requirement has been moved from being a redhat-certification-hardware package dependency to a test time requirement of the NVDIMM test. Reminder - End of minor release announcements With the multiple mechanisms and methods to keep partners informed and systems up to date, Red Hat will stop sending these regular update messages about Red Hat Certification minor update releases. We will send one additional Red Hat Certification errata update announcement after this announcement to provide an adjustment period for those that rely on this email for information about incremental changes. Red Hat will continue to send announcements for special and high impact events. 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. Regards, The Red Hat Certification Team
