4.3. Certification Requirements
Partners are expected to follow the Red Hat OpenStack Hardware Workflow Guide. However, additional details for the certification requirements include:
- The system under test (SUT) must already be certified; therefore,
- 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.
