Chapter 5. Leveraging Certification
Leveraging allow Partners to request credit for previously conducted successful certification testing. This is possible when a family of server systems utilizes a similar or substantially similar BMC.
Leveraging is based on the Partner performing their own internal qualification testing of the specific BMC on the specific individual system. It requires the partner to confirm that nuanced variations presented in the combination are not material, and the solution requesting leveraging is same as demonstrated in a previous Red Hat certification.
Where applicable leveraging can reduce the overall amount of testing required to achieve certification.
Partners may request leveraging for required testing when the solution contains a previously certified BMC
- with the same firmware branch, and
- the same or fewer features
It is the partner’s responsibility to verify that any differences in BMC-to-server interaction do not affect the certification.
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
