4.6.3

Memory

MemCntlrTest: Randomly writes to areas of memory, then reads the memory back to
ensure the written values remain unchanged.

RandomMemoryTest: Performs stress testing on the memory subsystem. This test is
effective in finding intermittent and non-deterministic faults. The problems in other
hardware areas such as overheating CPU, out-of-specification power supply, and so on can
cause memory faults.

MemBandwidth: Measures the ability to copy, read, and write data over a varying set of
sizes.

MemLatency: Measures the time taken by the memory to respond with the data for read-
request.

4.6.4

OS

MemSepTest: Ensures that user space programs cannot read and write to areas of
memory utilized by items such as Video RAM and kernel code.

SupervisorInstrTest: Ensures that the enforcement of the property that privileged
instructions should only be in supervisor mode is still in effect. The set of privileged
instructions tested to confirm this is architecture dependent.

DmesgCheckTest: Checks for user-given keywords in the kernel dmesg logs.

4.6.5

PCI

PCIScanTest: Enumerates all active PCI devices in the blade and ensures board default
configuration is active. This test need to be executed under supervisory mode.

PCILinkTest: Scans for device ID and speed of on-board PCI devices.

4.6.6

IPMC

IPMITest: Executes basic IPMI commands and ensures the basic IPMI controller, IPMI bus
functionalities are working properly by reading the response back.

IPMCSENSOREVENTTest: Verifies IPMC Event generation.

BMCWatchdogTest: Verifies working of local BMC watchdog timer.
