Chapter 5. Certification testing
The certification testing educates Partners about the prerequisites for testing, understanding the certification process, and its requirements.
5.1. Prerequistes for certification testing
- IPI component certification
- The corresponding RHEL server certification is successfully completed and posted.
- The corresponding Red Hat OpenStack Platform Compute Node certification or Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform certification is successfully completed and posted.
- The corresponding bare-metal driver is on the Supported Drivers List for the corresponding Red Hat OpenStack Platform or Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release.
- Assisted installer component certification
- The corresponding RHEL server certification is successfully completed and posted.

Figure 5.1. Red Hat OpenStack Platform Bare Metal Hardware Certification Process
Figure 5.2. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform Bare Metal Hardware Certification Process
5.3. Certification requirements
Ensure you follow the respective Red Hat OpenStack bare metal hardware or Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform bare metal hardware Workflow Guides. Additional details for the certification requirements include:
- The Host Under Test (HUT) must already be RHEL certified. Hence the tests must run on a previously certified server, and all of the tests prescribed in the test plan must be executed in a single run.
- If you have a failed test, take the corrective action and retest all of the tests in a single run. Open a support case if necessary for guidance.
