Greetings Red Hat Partners,

We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of Red Hat
Certification 8.63 and associated test suite package updates (listed
below). This Red Hat Certification package update *is* an official release
and should be used for new Red Hat certification submissions for the RHEL 8
and 9 family of products. Successful results from the previous
certification test suite will be accepted for a period of 90 days.

The updated Red Hat Certification packages listed below are available on
the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following location:

https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/282/

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:
Improvements

Program

Details

Red Hat Products affected

Hardware Certification

memory_HBM_flat test is now planned correctly

   -

   The memory_HBM_flat test was encountering a bug which prevented the test
   from planning. The bug is now fixed.


RHEL 8 & above

Hardware & Cloud Instance Certification

The device naming subtest now returns a FAIL status

   -

   The device naming subtest will now return a FAIL status if a network
   interface is not managed by the Network Manager (NM-managed).

The test will exclude the lo: and other loopback devices from this
requirement.


   -

   The subtest will also prompt to provide a reason in cases if a network
   interface is not NM-Managed.


RHEL 8 & above

Hardware Certification

The battery test is updated to pass on low power systems


   -

   The wait time in the battery test was not long enough to discharge
   10mWh. In a reasonable time with low power consumption systems.

The test is now improved to monitor changes between any two states and
increase the load on the system to drain the battery more when checking the
charging status.

RHEL-8 and Above

Hardware Certification

Moved all hardware preview tests out of the preview package


   -

   All the active hardware preview tests like evdevswitches, touchpad, and
   trackpoint tests are now moved out of the preview package and into the
   mainline redhat-certification package

The preview tests are marked with a preview label internally and will not
be planned by default.

These tests can be planned manually with --preview flag with the rhcert-cli
command.

RHEL 8 and above

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