Type: Automated Test

Overview

The iSCSI Digest - Tape (HBA) test verifies that the host-bus adapter (HBA) supports header and data digests as negotiated during the logon phase.

Details

The iSCSI Digest - Tape (HBA) test completes the following steps:
  1. Prepare the system for iSCSI operations:
    • If the target that is used for testing is already logged on, the session information is saved so the session can be restored later.
    • The target tape device is added as a static iSCSI target. 
  2. Perform iSCSI operations:
    • If the target that is used for testing is already logged on, the current session to the target is logged out.
    • The target is logged on by using the HBA under test with header digests enabled.
    • After logging on to the target, the test waits for the tape device to be enumerated on the test system.
    • The test will perform tape I/O operations b using the current target session. 
    • The test repeats the preceding steps with data digests-only enabled and header and data digests enabled.
    • The HBA under test must properly log on by using all three digest combinations with no I/O failures detected during I/O operations. 
  3. Restore any previous iSCSI target sessions.
