Revision 1.0

1. Introduction

This document is intended to provide users of the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25V2,

Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VIR and Intel® Virtualization Manager with a guide to the

different operating systems, expansion cards, and peripherals Intel plans to test on this platform.

This document will continue to be updated as new expansion cards, peripherals, and operating

systems are tested or until the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25V2 and Intel® Compute

Module MFS5520VIR are no longer in production. Each new release of the document will

present updated information as well as continue to provide the information from previous

releases.

Intel will only provide support for those expansion cards and peripherals under the specified

system configuration (System BIOS and Firmware revisions) and operating systems versions

with which they were tested.

1.1 Document Organization

This document is divided into the four sections listed below.

(1) Introduction - Provides general information regarding the testing completed by Intel

(2) MFSYS25V2 Systems with Intel® Virtualization Manager–Provides base system

configurations tested, supported software and hardware for the Intel® Modular Server

System MFSYS25V2 and Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VIR with the Intel®

Virtualization Manager feature activated.

(3) MFSYS25V2 Systems –Provides base system configurations tested, supported

software and hardware for the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25V2 and the

Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VIR. Note: Intel® Virtualization Manager is NOT

activated.

1.2 Test Overview

Testing performed on the Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25V2 and Intel® Compute

Module MFS5520VIR with and without the Intel® Virtualization Manager activated is classified

under two separate categories: Basic Installation Testing, and Expansion Card/ Peripheral

Compatibility and Stress Testing.

Intel® Modular Server Systems

Revision 1.0

1.2.1 Basic Installation Testing

Basic installation testing is performed with each supported operating system. Basic installation

testing validates that the server board can install the operating system and that the base

hardware feature set is functional. A small set of peripherals is used for installation purposes

only. No expansion cards are tested. Testing includes network connectivity and running of

proprietary and industry standard test suites.



The latest version of an operating system signifies the latest supported version

at the time of the actual test run. Each new release of this document may have

a newly supported release of a given operating system. Previous releases of a

supported operating system may not be tested beyond the basic installation

test process.

1.2.1.1 Support Commitment for Basic Installation Testing

Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that

receive only basic installation testing:

Intel will provide and test operating system drivers for each of the server board’s

integrated controllers, provided that the controller vendor has a driver available upon

request. Vendors will not be required by Intel to develop drivers for operating systems

that they do not already support. This may limit the functionality of certain server board

integrated controllers.

Intel will support customer issues that involve installation and/or functionality of operating

system with the server board’s integrated controllers only if a driver has been made

available.

Intel will NOT provide support for issues related to use of any 3rd party expansion cards

or peripherals installed in the server system when an operating system that received

basic installation testing only is in use.

Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer

acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system. The resolution

may include, but is not limited to on-board controller driver changes, engaging the

vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer

acceptable workaround for the issue.

1.2.2 I/O Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress Testing

I/O Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing is performed only on the most

current release of a supported operating system at the time of a given validation run. The I/O

Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing process consists of three areas:

Base Platform, I/OExpansion Card Compatibility, and Stress.

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.

Intel® Modular Server Systems

Revision 1.0

I/O Expansion Card Compatibility: I/O Expansion Card compatibility validation (CV) testing

uses test suites to gain an accurate view of how the server performs with the available

expansion card under the primary supported operating systems. These tests are designed to

show hardware compatibility between the cards and the server platform and include functional

testing only. No heavy stressing of the systems or the cards is performed for CV testing.

Stress Testing: This test sequence uses configurations that include expansion cards in all

available slots, for a minimum 72-hour test run without injecting errors. 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.

1.2.2.1 Support Commitment for I/O Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and

Stress Testing

Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that

receive I/O Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing:

Intel commits to provide the following level of customer support for operating systems that

receive I/O Expansion Card / Peripheral Compatibility and Stress testing:

Intel will provide support for customer issues with these operating systems involving

installation and/or functionality of the server board with or without the I/O Expansion

Card and peripherals listed in this document as having been tested under the particular

operating system.

Support is defined as assistance in root causing issues, and determining a customer

acceptable resolution to the issue associated with the operating system. The resolution

may include, but is not limited to on-board controller driver changes, engaging the

vendor for resolution, BIOS changes, firmware changes, or determining a customer

acceptable workaround for the issue.

Intel will provide and test operating system drivers for each onboard video, network, and

storage controller.

Intel will enable vendors to provide driver support for I/O Expansion Cards using these

operating systems.

Intel will go through some of the steps to achieve certification to ensure its customers do

not run across any problems, but the actual certification is the responsibility of the

individual customer.



For operating systems, adapter cards, and peripherals not listed in this

document, there is no support commitment. Intel will consider support requests

on a case-by-case basis.

Revision 1.0

1.3 Pass/Fail Test Criteria

For each operating system, I/O Expansion card, 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 (BKMs)

were used for the operating system installation.

In some cases rKVM BKMs used involve workarounds and 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.

All Intel® Compute Module testing was performed using the Intel® Server Modular System

MFSYS25V2.
