# Chapter 5. Running and Verifying the Network Test Cases

This chapter explains how to run the network test cases. Use this information in the following sequence:

1. Select and run the network tests by double-clicking on the LAN TEST icon.

2. Run individual network tests, as required.

3. Update the results diskette. Be sure to use the same results diskette used earlier when running the base tests.

4. Rerun any failed or missing tests as individual tests, with the following exceptions:

- ITLLS56 and ITLLS57 (these tests cannot be run individually and must be run on three test machines to exercise either the domain controller or the additional server)

- ITLPEER (this test cannot be run individually and must be run on the additional server and client 2 systems to exercise client 1)

1. Update the results diskette.

2. Check to make sure all tests were run and passed.

3. See Chapter 7, "Collecting and Submitting Test Results" for information about submitting test results.

## Running the Network Test Cases

To run the network tests, do the following on each of the four test machines simultaneously or sequentially within a short period of time (not exceeding two minutes).

1. Open the PCM Compatibility Testkit Version 4.6 folder.

2. Double-click on LAN TEST. The LAN Testcase Selection & Execution window is displayed as shown in Figure 5.

The Workstation currently configured as: field indicates which machine the tests are being started from. For example, in Figure 5, the test cases are being started from client 2.

Figure 5. LAN Testcase Selection and Execution

1. Select one of the following testing options:

- Run tests to exercise the Additional Server

- Run tests to exercise the Domain Controller

- Run tests to exercise Client #1 - LAN/Peer Requester

- Run tests to exercise Client #2 - LAN/Remote Requester

1. Click on Run.

The test cases will begin running. Information is displayed in an OS/2 window on each of the machines as the test cases are processed.

Attention: Do not use the keyboard or mouse while the tests are running.

When each of the test cases completes, the results are copied to a log file on the machine where the test was started in addition to a log file on the appropriate target machine, depending on which testing option you selected. The log files are located on the boot drive in the following directories:

\d01logs | On the domain controller
\s01logs | On the additional server
\r01logs | On client 1
\r02logs | On client 2

The log files are named testcase.xxx, where testcase represents the name of the individual test case (for example, itlls57, itlftp01, and so on) and xxx represents the machine where the test case was run from as follows:

File Extension | Test Case Run From
D01 | Domain controller
S01 | Additional server
R01 | Client 1
R02 | Client 2

If your system fails any test, you can rerun the test individually following the steps in Chapter 9, "LAN Test Case Details".

## Running the Manual Intervention Network Test Cases

The following test cases must be run individually on the domain controller.

- "OS/2 Dump Test Case (ITLDUMP)"

- "Personal Safe and Sound (ITLPSNS)"

- "SystemView Raid Information (ITLRAID)"

The following test cases must be run individually on the additional server.

- "Group Management (ITLSV00)"

- "Monitor Remote System's Resources (ITLSV06)"

- "Hardware Inventory (ITLSV07)"

- "Software Inventory (ITLSV08)"

- "System Information Tool (ITLSV11)"

- "Print Service Facilities (ITLPSF00)"

For detailed information describing these test cases, see the sections listed above.

For an overview of which test cases need to be run to test the different systems and which systems those test cases are run from, see Appendix E, "LAN Test Case Groupings, Execution, and Output".
