The Conformance capability of OakGate Technology's System Validation Framework assesses the implementation of the full set of SCSI commands. The Conformance suite ensures that each SCSI command is not only protocol compliant but also that the command functions as intended.
The Analysis capability is a real time Protocol Analyzer that not only provides visibility to IO traffic but also collects traffic statistics, identifies error states, collects error statistics and allows for fast isolation of an IO or Error condition.
In the conformance function, each SCSI command can be selected individually to be tested. Within each test, valid and invalid parameters are set to ensure that all conditions are handled correctly. Where appropriate, validation that the command did what was expected is performed (i.e. for a SCSI Write, the data is read to verify that it was written correctly). Where vendor specific options are available, the appropriate mode page is read to determine the expected behaviour. In other cases, the tests themselves can be modified to adjust for variations.

Independent Analyzers can exist for each initiator with as much as 1GByte of memory allocated for each capture buffer. The analyzers run real time and collect statistics on the types of commands that that have been sent/received, the responses to all commands and if and what types of errors have occurred.
IO context is displayed and can be sorted/filtered to show just the traffic of interest. Quick search/find capabilities exist to allow quick identification of the IO of interest.
