Boot Test
Boot Test
Type: Automated Test
Overview
The Boot test will determine if the test client is booting from a particular device.
Details
The test accepts a device instance path, and it enumerates all of the device's children and finds disks equal to or below the device that is specified. The test then finds all of the volumes that span these disks. The test validates that the operating system is installed on one of these volumes and that the boot loader exists on one of the disks.
