Techniques for building and implementing computing systems with simulated hardware infrastructures are provided to support, for example, development and testing of management and orchestration software. For example, a system includes a processing platform comprising hardware resources, and a simulated computing system executing on top of the processing platform using the hardware resources. The simulated computing system comprises simulated elements including a simulated compute node, a simulated network switch device, and a simulated power distribution device. The simulated compute node comprises a simulated hardware processor and a simulated storage device. The system further comprises a test control interface configured to enable a user to test the simulated computing system by injecting an error into the simulated computing system. For example, error injection includes manipulating a behavior of one or more of the simulated elements and/or simulating a failure of one or more of the simulated elements.

Computing system with simulated hardware infrastructure to support development and testing of management and orchestration software

A system and method for performing diagnostics on a computer system having a plurality of physical hardware devices includes associating a logical device with a physical hardware device of the computer system. The logical device is provided with a programmatic interface that abstractly reproduces a functionality of the physical hardware device associated with the logical device and insulates the logical device from device-specific particulars needed to communicate with the physical hardware device. The logical device is associated with a translator that is capable of communicating with the physical hardware device associated with the logical device using the device-specific particulars needed to communicate with that physical hardware device.
