Test Procedure Working Groups » IEC 61850 TPWG » Test Procedure Issues

A test lab has a request to certify an virtualize IEC 61850 Implementation.

The test procedures can still be used, but the certificate, vendor information , and redmine would need to change.

We will probably need the following information. For HW: the HW of the actual physical server; for Software: the version of the Virtual IED;. The certificate and Redmine will need to also include the Hypervisor name and version (e.g. VmWare Exsi 7.8). I also believe that the certificate/redmine will need to specify the type of virtual Ethernet connection (V-switch, PCI Passthrough, or SRV-IO).

Since there are implementations using kubernetes/docker as well, we need to decide on the correct terminology. Suggestion is Container Technology.
