UnixWare 7 HBA Testsuites
The hbacert package contains test and certification suites
used to test SDI HBA and target drivers with their associated hardware.
For current information about the entire UnixWare/OpenServer
Hardware Development Kit (HDK) release, see the
HDK Release Notes.
Note: Documentation references on this page link to the
Product Documentation.
They are also available on your local system when the
BASEman, HDKdoc, and HDKman
packages are installed.
System requirements
The hbacert suite requires a UnixWare 7 system with
the following packages installed:
- base
-
Base Operating System, commands and utilities
- acp
-
Enhanced Application Compatibility
- uccs
-
UDK Optimizing C Compilation System
Individual tests have additional prerequisites for the hardware being
tested; see
For more information.
This package cannot be installed on OpenServer systems.
Similar test suites are provided for OpenServer SCSI drivers
in the O5hbacert package.
Installation
To install the package from:
downloaded files
- Log in as root.
- Download the package to an installation directory; for
example,
/tmp.
- Use the
pkgadd(1M)
command to install it by entering:
- pkgadd -d /tmp/hbacert
media distribution
- Log in as root.
- Insert the CD-ROM in the drive
- Use the
pkgadd(1M)
command to install it by entering:
- pkgadd -d cdrom1 hbacert
Major revisions
The major changes since HDK Release 7.0.0:
-
The HBA Certification Requirements Checklist, which provides a clear
process for IHVs to follow in getting their drivers certified,
is included under the testsuites/doc directory (under the
hbacert $HOME directory,
which is by default /home/hbacert).
The online documentation describes the new process and how to use the
checklist.
Even those
vendors not seeking formal certification by are advised to follow
the requirements checklist when testing drivers for SCO platforms.
Since this is a new process, we recommended that you check the
HDK web
site for updates to the checklist.
-
All tests have been revised for this release to address customer
reported problems and improve performance.
-
The SCSI pass-through tests now use the library interface (new to
UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.0).
-
The test source code is included in the hbacert installation directory.
This test source is included for reference purposes only and is not
intended to allow customers to build the tests.
See the individual test directories under the hbacert
$HOME/testsuites directory for the scripts used to run the tests.
Known limitations
Please observe the following limitations when running the
hbacert software:
-
Running more than one invocation of any of the Certification Test Suites
on the same machine may lead to unexpected and unpredictable results.
-
Only the HDK 7.1 CDROM should be used as the input test pattern
CD for the cdrom tests.
The HDK 7.1 CDROM test pattern will not work with older (pre-7.1)
versions of hbacert.
-
We recommend 150M tape drive for the multiple-volume cpio test.
High capacity drives (e.g., DLT drives) are not recommended at this
time because of performance issues.
For more information
For complete information on configuring and running the HBA certification
tests, refer to the SCOhelp documentation on your local system
(
Testing and debugging HBA drivers)
or on the Product Documentation web site
(
Testing and debugging HBA drivers).
A copy of the SCOhelp HDK documentation is also available for
browsing directly off the HDK CD; see the top-level files on
the CD for more information.
