Chapter 5. Setting up the test environment

To certify your product, you must first set up the environment where you can run the tests. The test environment consists of a host system. A test host is a workstation used as a medium for accessing the OpenShift cluster.

Note

Red Hat recommends partners to enable FIPS mode on both control plane and data plane nodes.

5.1. Setting up the test host

You can use the test host to start a test run on the OpenShift cluster, display the progress of the tests, and present the final result file after gathering results.

Prerequisites

  • Install or use an existing RHEL 9 system.
  • Have access to an OpenShift cluster hosting a RHOSO control plane.

Procedure

  1. Use your RHN credentials to register your system by using Red Hat Subscription Management. 

    # subscription-manager register
    Copy to Clipboard

  2. Display the list of available subscriptions for your system. 

    # subscription-manager list --available*
    Copy to Clipboard
  3. Search for the subscription that provides the Red Hat Certification (for RHEL Server) repository.
  4. Note the subscription and its Pool ID.

  5. Attach the subscription to your system. 

    # subscription-manager attach --pool=<pool_ID>
    Copy to Clipboard
    Note

    You don’t have to attach the subscription to your system, if you enable the option Simple content access for Red Hat Subscription Management.

  6. Replace the pool_ID with the Pool ID of the subscription.

  7. Subscribe to the Red Hat Certification channel. 

    # subscription-manager repos --enable=cert-1-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms
    Copy to Clipboard

  8. Install the certification RPMs. 

    # dnf install redhat-certification
# dnf install redhat-certification-rhoso
    Copy to Clipboard
