Concepts of ViewCheck

2.1

Overview

Terminology and keywords used extensively in ViewCheck services and available via the
commands are explained briefly here.

2.2

Test Identification

Unique Test identification is based on following triple key:

< Device Category, Test ID, Device Instance >

2.3

Device Category

The Device Category is an enumerated value, reused from similar enumeration already defined
in HPI-B Standard specification.

Expresses commonly known device categories like Storage, Network, Serial, CPU, Memory,
and so on, which are available on all blades irrespective of function and architecture. This
category is used in commands as one of the key fields to identify uniquely a particular test.

Device Category allows for:

Grouping of test cases per category for display and statistical purposes

Allows reuse of Test IDs across device categories

2.4

Test ID

Test ID is an integer value that uniquely identifies the actual test that could be invoked or
executed on a Hardware Device Instance, which belongs to a specific Device Category already
defined above and available on the blade.

Following are the example of tests that can be executed on the devices:

Ping Flood test

Network connectivity test in case of Network Device Category
