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.

   A bug is now fixed that incorrectly prompted the user to confirm if the
   “application software is packaged as an RPM” during the registration of the
   SUT when using the software certification test suite. Users will no longer
   be prompted.
   2.

   A bug is now fixed that would impact the XML structure in software
   certification test results causing the RPM meta data to not be captured.
   3.

   The Network test in hardware certification is updated to use iperf3
   instead of lmbench in the TCP latency subtest in addition to the UDP
   subtest that was updated in 7.23. This improves the test reliability at
   higher network speeds.
   4.

   A new field, “Firewall Status”, is added in the “Settings” page on the
   LTS. This field shows if the required network port(s) are opened or not. If
   the required port(s) are not opened, then a warning message displays and an
   “Open Ports” button appears. The open ports button will update the firewall
   rules on the LTS to allow access to the required ports.
   5.

   The FV live migration test in the hardware certification test suite now
   automatically starts libvirt on the lab agent system if it is not already
   running. Previously libvirt would need to be started manually prior to
   running the test.
   6.

   The Storage test now requires the nvme-cli package to improve
   identification of NVMe storage. The NVME test will now also verify that the
   device appears in the list of NVMe devices according to the nvme command
   and will fail if the device does not appear as an NVMe device.
   7.

   The SSD test uses lsblk to capture additional block parameters of the
   device during the test.



We value your ongoing participation in Red Hat certification, software
development, and testing efforts. Thank you for your continued partnership.
