The Red Hat Certification management interface on Red Hat Partner Connect,
which is available at https://rhcert.connect.redhat.com, has been updated
to use these packages.

This release includes enhancements and bug fixes as follows:

   1.

   The virtualization test planning is corrected to schedule only the
   combination bus+class tests (e.g. fv_pcie_network_passthrough test) instead
   of the individual bus tests and individual class tests (e.g. the
   fv_pcie_passthrough and fv_network_passthrough). The new combination tests
   were added in the previous update of the test suite.
   2.

   A new virtualization live migration (fv_live_migration) test is
   introduced in the RHEL 8 hardware certification test suite. This test
   exercises the ability of the system under test (SUT) to migrate a running
   virtual machine to another system. Successful completion of this test will
   add the "Live Migration" feature to the SUT’s RHV 4.4 catalog entry.
   3.

   A command exception bug is fixed in the CPU thread detection parsing
   code of the Hardware Health subtest.
   4.

   A bug is fixed in the rhcert-cli command where the installation of
   dependent packages may not be validated before running the test.
   5.

   The kdump test now exits with a REVIEW status and captures the vmcore in
   the certification results if the correct kernel-debuginfo-* packages cannot
   be found on the SUT. In this situation, the results package will be
   significantly larger..


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
