This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

1. New hardware certification storage tests are introduced to provide
dedicated tests for SATA and SAS SSDs, PCIe NVMe, and M.2/U.2 SATA and
NVMe devices:

Test Name    Description
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SATA_SSD     For SATA attached SSD storage
SAS_SSD      For SAS attached SSD storage
U2_SATA      For U.2 SATA attached storage
M2_SATA      For M.2 SATA attached storage
PCIE_NVMe    For PCIe NVMe storage
U2_NVMe      For U.2 NVMe storage
M2_NVMe      For M.2 NVMe storage

2. The ssh timeout of the Baremetal test for provisioning systems is
extended to 10 minutes from 5 minutes to allow systems a longer window
by default.

3. Improved the test logic of the Trusted Container test for RHOSP 13
to further inspect containers and the authoritative source value as
part of establishing the provenance of the container.

4. A header for the deployed node is added in the Baremetal test logs
to improve readability during the review.


The complete changelog for each package may be found on the download
page by selecting the package name followed by selecting the ChangeLog
tab.

If you encounter any problems, please file bugs against the "Red Hat
Certification Program" product in Red Hat Bugzilla

users who are used to using the old "Red Hat Hardware Certification
Program" product.

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 your partner manager or engineering account
manager.

The Red Hat Certification Team
