Self validation checkup

A self validation checkup runs conformance tests on critical subsystems to verify that the environment is fully functional and self-sustained before you deploy production workloads.

Run a self validation checkup in the web console​

Running a self validation checkup streamlines the process of running functional tests, which enables you to validate the stability, health, and compliance of an OpenShift Virtualization installation before deploying workloads.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform cluster where OpenShift Virtualization is installed.
  • You are logged in to the OpenShift Container Platform web console.
