You can find the list of tests on ServerTestingResultsTemplate. We want to make sure that the hardware is supported by the kernel and that a default installation from the ubuntu-server cd is successful.

These are questions to help you test.

 * Did the installer complete without errors?
 * Has the CPU layout been detected correctly?
  * Does {{{/proc/cpuinfo}}} show what you expect?
  {{{
cat /proc/cpuinfo}}}
  * When HT is enabled, your HT processors should show up twice.
  * Dual-core processors should show up twice.
  * Dual-core HT processors should show up four times.
 * Has the memory layout been detected correctly?
  * Look at the 'total' column, 'Mem:' row of {{{free}}}. Does this number equal the actual amount of RAM in the machine?
  {{{
free}}}
 * Has the physical hard drive layout been detected correctly?
  * You should be able to notice this in the installer (on an installed machine, peruse dmesg(8) output or look at 'ls /dev/hd*' or 'ls /dev/sd*' for SCSI drives)
  {{{
dmesg
ls /dev/hd*
ls /dev/sh*}}}
  * If the server supports hot-swappable hard drives, after the machine boots fully, attempt to hot-swap a drive. Did you encounter any problems? Is the machine still reporting the correct drive layout?

  This is generally only applicable if you're using Linux's software RAID. With hardware RAID, drive swapping should generally be transparent to the underlying OS.
 * Does connecting a serial console work as expected?
 * Have any RAID and storage controllers been detected correctly?
  * Look at lspci(8) output, and see if your RAID and/or storage controllers are present
  {{{
lspci}}}
 * Have all the NICs been detected correctly?
  * Take a look at {{{dmesg|grep eth}}} and {{{ifconfig -a}}} output.
  {{{
dmesg|grep eth
ifconfig -a}}}		 You can find the list of tests on ServerTestingResultsTemplate.

The ServerTestingTeam tries to get Ubuntu Server working on as much server hardware as possible.

How can I help ?

We try to test every milestone released during the development cycle. We're also interested in results for LTS releases and the last stable release.

So if you have some server hardware available you can download one of the iso listed above, run a default installation and report your test results on this page.

Choose an image to test

Here is a list of releases requiring testing:

Download one of the ubuntu-server iso.

Running tests

You can find the list of tests on ServerTestingResultsTemplate. We want to make sure that the hardware is supported by the kernel and that a default installation from the ubuntu-server cd is successful. The ServerTestingProcedure has a list of questions that can be used during a test run.

Reporting results

To report your results, check if your model is already listed. If so, go to the model sub-page and add a new test result. Otherwise, add a new model and your test results.

Filing bugs

If some of the test fails, don't forget to report the bug in launchpad ! Otherwise, the chances to get things fixed are really low.

When reporting bugs specify which iso you've tested (eg: hardy-server-amd64 alpha 4) and attach the output of at least dmesg and lspci -vvn as well as any other output relevant to the bug:

lspci -vvn

dmesg

List of tested hardware

Adding a new model

Create a new model page using the following naming scheme: ManufacturerModelNumber.

Examples:

  • DellPowerEdge650

  • IBMxSeries346
