Important notes
----------------
-This is the release where StorPerf is not delivered as a single container but
-is delivered as a series of networked containers. StorPerf must be run using
-docker-compose.
+StorPerf has added the ability to specify the number of Cinder Volumes per
+agent VM to test. The name of the device that the volume is attached to
+has been appended to the host IP address in the metrics so that it can be
+tracked independently.
+
Summary
--------
@@ -36,10 +41,22 @@ StorPerf is a standalone framework that uses OpenStack to measure Cinder volume
performance. If desired, it can push results to the OPNFV Test Results DB, or
the embedded Graphite web interface can be used to perform ad hoc queries.
-This release changes to docker-compose framework and adds the StorPerf
-reporting module. It also marks a change from microsecond (:math:`\mu`\s) to
-nano-second (ns) precision for all reported latencies. This is denoted by a change
-from lat.mean to lat_ns.mean for read and write metrics.
+This release allows for changing of stack attributes from the OpenStack CLI.
+Using a command such as
+
+.. code-block::
+ heat stack-update StorPerfAgentGroup --existing -P "agent_count=6"
+
+will change the existing stack to use 6 agents. Note that StorPerf can take
+up to 1 minute after the stack update is complete before detecting the new
+values. Please use a GET of the configurations API to test for updated
+values prior to submitting a new test.
+
+The following command changes the number of volumes per agent:
+
+.. code-block::
+ heat stack-update StorPerfAgentGroup --existing -P "volume_count=2"
