1.1.2 Stress
Testing
Stress testing is performed only on the most current release of a supported operating system at
the time of a given validation run. The stress test process consists of three areas: Base platform,
Multiple Adapter, and Endurance.
Base Platform
: Each base platform will successfully install a given operating system,
successfully run a disk stress test, and successfully run a network stress test.
Multiple Adapters
: Multiple adapter validation (MAV) testing uses configurations and test suites
to gain an accurate view of how the server performs under varying complex configurations while
interacting with network clients. Each configuration is tested for at least 12 hours.
Endurance Test
: This test sequence uses configurations that include 2-6 add-in adapters
(depending on chassis used) for a minimum 72-hour test run without injecting errors. Three
servers operating under Microsoft* Windows* 2000 Advanced Server, Novell NetWare*, and
Linux* are tested in parallel. Each configuration passes an installation test, a Network/Disk
Stress test, and tape backup test. Any fatal errors that occur will require a complete test restart.
1.2 Pass/Fail Test Criteria
For each operating system, adapter, and peripheral configuration, a test passes if specific
criteria are met. Specific configurations may have had particular characteristics that were
addressed on a case-by-case basis. In general, a configuration passes testing if the following
conditions are met:
•
The operating system installed without error.
-
Manufacturer’s installation instructions or Intel’s best-known methods were used for
the operating system installation.
-
No extraordinary workarounds were required during the operating system installation.
-
The server system behaved as expected during and after the operating system
installation.
-
Application software installed and executed normally.
•
Hardware compatibility tests ran to completion without error.
•
Test software suites executed successfully
-
Test and data files were created in the correct directories without error.
-
Files copied from client to server and back compare to the original with zero errors
reported.
-
Clients remain connected to the server system.
-
Industry standard test suites run to completion with zero errors reported.
Intel server board SE7501WV2 testing was performed using the Intel server chassis SR1300 &
SR2300.
