Compatibility & Stress testing
See the following sections for additional information regarding validation levels and technical
support levels as referenced in Table 4.
2.1.1 OS Validation Levels
Basic installation testing is performed with each supported operating system. The testing
validates that the system can install the operating system and that the base hardware feature set is
functional. A small set of peripherals is used for installation purposes only. Add-in adapter cards are
not tested.
Adapter compatibility validation (CV) testing uses test suites to gain an accurate view of how the
server performs with a wide variety of adapters under the primary supported operating systems.
These tests are designed to show hardware compatibility between the cards and the server platform
and include functional testing only. No heavy stressing of the systems or the cards is performed for
CV testing.
Stress Testing uses configurations that include add-in adapters in all available slots for a 48-hour
(two-day), or a 72-hour (three-day) test run without injecting errors. Each configuration passes an
installation test and a Network/Disk Stress test. Any fatal errors that occur require a complete test
restart.
2.1.2 OS Technical Support Levels
T1: Chenbro will provide support for issues involving the installation and/or functionality of a
specified operating system as configured with or without supported adapters and/or peripherals.
T2: Chenbro will provide and test operating system drivers for each of the server board’s integrated
controllers, provided that the controller vendor has a driver available upon request. Vendors will not
be required by Chenbro to develop drivers for operating systems that they do not already support.
Chenbro will NOT provide support for issues related to the use of any add-in adapters or peripherals
installed in the server system when an operating system that received only basic installation testing
is in use.
T3: Chenbro will not provide technical support for an open source operating system. All questions
and issues related to an open source operating system must be submitted to and supported by the
open source community supporting the given operating system.
