Techniques are described for a data recovery validation test. In examples, a processor receives a command to be included in the validation test that is configured to validate performance of an activity by a server prior to a failure to perform the activity by the server. The processor stores the validation test including the command on a memory device, and prior to the failure of the activity by the server, executes the validation test including the command responsive to an input. The processor receives results of the validation test corresponding to the command and indicating whether the server performed the activity in accordance with a standard for the activity during the validation test. The processor provides the results of the validation test in a user interface.

A system for testing a design of a computing component includes an input device configured to receive a request to perform a test of a component, and a testing unit including a simulation of the component. The simulation is configured to output a result indicative of a response to a set of instruction addresses, the set of instruction addresses is acquired from a plurality of addresses, and the plurality of addresses including a plurality of address groups, where each address group is associated with a respective group identifier. The system also includes a plurality of requestors configured to apply the set of instruction addresses to the simulation, where a requestor of the plurality of requestors is configured to select an address for application to the simulation based on a received group identifier and a variably configurable weight value assigned to the received group identifier and the requestor.

Establishing a diagnostic OS for an information handling system platform performing a UEFI BIOS boot to place the platform in a pre-OS state. Upon detecting a particular POST error and/or a platform configuration policy, an embedded OS kernel may be launched into a DRTM-authenticated measured launch environment (MLE). Additional objects for the diagnostic OS may be downloaded. The additional objects may include an initial ramdisk (initrd) module and one or more applications specific to the particular diagnostic OS. The diagnostic OS may be launched as follows: for each diagnostic OS application, launching the application and extending a measurement of the application into a DRTM PCR. Launching the diagnostic OS may include launching an initrd module and extending a measurement of the initrd module into the DRTM PCR. A measurement of embedded OS kernel may be extended into the TPM and the embedded OS kernel may validate the UEFI BIOS sequence.
