David Woolf:
1. New Test Case Test 1.5 Hot plug while I/O In Progress to include performing hotplug while the
drive is performing IO. Expected Observable Results of the test will be that the system remains
stable, and that the drive is recognized when reinserted into the system. This new test case would
be FYI initially.
2. For Test 1.4 Hot Plug, increase the number of root complexes a drive must be tested with from 1
to 2 in the Integrators List requirements in Appendix E.
3. For Test 1.4 Hot Plug, clarify the amount and type of user action can be taken when a drive is rein-
serted to a system. The Possible Problems section will include information about specific expecta-
tions when using a MS Server system, that no user intervention is allowed during the test, such as
a drive ‘rescan’ or ‘refresh’. A note that other operating systems and setups may have different
requirements.
4. Remove Annex B and D on UEFI test tools.
5. Add EDSFF form factors as requiring hot plug testing.
