Naturally, QTIP integrates `StorPerf`_ to generate the storage +performance data. + +For now, storage QPI runs against on the baremetal/virtual scenario deployed by +the OPNFV installer `APEX`_. + +Getting started +=============== + +Notice: All descriptions are based on containers. + +Requirements +------------ + +* Git must be installed. +* Docker and docker-compose must be installed. + +Git Clone QTIP Repo +------------------- + +:: + + git clone https://git.opnfv.org/qtip + +Running QTIP container and Storperf Containers +---------------------------------------------- + +With Docker Compose, we can use a YAML file to configure application's services and +use a single command to create and start all the services. + +There is a YAML file ``./qtip/tests/ci/storage/docker-compose.yaml`` from QTIP repos. +It can help you to create and start the storage QPI service. + +Before running docker-compose, you must specify these three variables: + +* DOCKER_TAG, which specified the Docker tag(ie: latest) +* SSH_CREDENTIALS, a directory which includes an SSH key pair will be mounted into QTIP container. + QTIP use this SSH key pair to connect to remote hosts. +* ENV_FILE, which includes the environment variables required by QTIP and Storperf containers + + A example of ENV_FILE: + + :: + + INSTALLER_TYPE=apex + INSTALLER_IP=192.168.122.247 + TEST_SUITE=storage + NODE_NAME=zte-virtual5 + SCENARIO=generic + TESTAPI_URL= + OPNFV_RELEASE=euphrates + # The below environment variables are Openstack Credentials. + OS_USERNAME=admin + OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=Default + OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=Default + OS_BAREMETAL_API_VERSION=1.29 + NOVA_VERSION=1.1 + OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin + OS_PASSWORD=ZjmZJmkCvVXf9ry9daxgwmz3s + OS_NO_CACHE=True + COMPUTE_API_VERSION=1.1 + no_proxy=,192.168.37.10,192.0.2.5 + OS_CLOUDNAME=overcloud + OS_AUTH_URL=http://192.168.37.10:5000/v3 + IRONIC_API_VERSION=1.29 + OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3 + OS_AUTH_TYPE=password + +Then, you use the following commands to start storage QPI service. + +:: + + docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml pull + docker-compose -f docker-compose.yaml up -d + +Execution +--------- + +You can run storage QPI with docker exec: +:: + + docker exec <qtip container> bash -x /home/opnfv/repos/qtip/qtip/scripts/quickstart.sh + +QTIP generates results in the ``$PWD/results/`` directory are listed down under the +timestamp name. + +Metrics +------- + +Storperf provides the following `metrics`_: + +* IOPS +* Bandwidth (number of kilobytes read or written per second) +* Latency + + +.. _StorPerf: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/storperf +.. _APEX: https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/apex +.. _metrics: http://docs.opnfv.org/en/stable-euphrates/submodules/storperf/docs/testing/user/introduction.html#what-data-can-i-get |
