- * Enough floating IPs must be available to match your agent count
+* Docker and docker-compose must be installed
+ * (note: sudo_ may be required if user is not part of docker group)
+* OpenStack Controller credentials are available
+* Host has access to the OpenStack Controller API
+* Host must have internet connectivity for downloading docker image
+* Enough OpenStack floating IPs must be available to match your agent count
-Running StorPerf in a VM
-========================

-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- mkdir -p ~/carbon
- sudo chown 33:33 ~/carbon
-
-The recommended method of running StorPerf is to expose only the ReST and Graphite
-ports. The command line below shows how to run the container with local disk for
-the carbon database.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- docker run -t --env-file admin-rc -p 5000:5000 -p 8000:8000 -v ~/carbon:/opt/graphite/storage/whisper --name storperf opnfv/storperf

-
-Docker Exec
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Instead of exposing port 5022 externally, you can use the exec method in docker. This
-provides a slightly more secure method of running StorPerf container without having to
-expose port 22.
-
-If needed, the container can be entered with docker exec. This is not normally required.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- docker exec -it storperf bash
-
-Container with SSH
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Running the StorPerf Container with all ports open and a local disk for the result
-storage. This is not recommended as the SSH port is open.
-
-.. code-block:: console
-
- docker run -t --env-file admin-rc -p 5022:22 -p 5000:5000 -p 8000:8000 -v ~/carbon:/opt/graphite/storage/whisper --name storperf opnfv/storperf
-
-This will then permit ssh to localhost port 5022 for CLI access.

+=====================
+StorPerf Introduction
+=====================
+
+The purpose of StorPerf is to provide a tool to measure ephemeral and block
+storage performance of OpenStack.
+
+A key challenge to measuring disk performance is to know when the disk (or,
+for OpenStack, the virtual disk or volume) is performing at a consistent and
+repeatable level of performance. Initial writes to a volume can perform
+poorly due to block allocation, and reads can appear instantaneous when
+reading empty blocks. How do we know when the data reported is valid? The
+Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA_) has developed methods which enable
+manufacturers to set, and customers to compare, the performance specifications
+of Solid State Storage devices. StorPerf applies this methodology to OpenStack
+Cinder and Glance services to provide a high level of confidence in the
+performance metrics in the shortest reasonable time.
+
+.. _SNIA: http://www.snia.org/sites/default/files/HoEasen_SNIA_Solid_State_Storage_Per_Test_1_0.pdf
+
+How Does StorPerf Work?
+=======================
+
+Once launched, StorPerf presents you with a ReST interface, along with a
+`Swagger UI <https://swagger.io/swagger-ui/>`_ that makes it easier to
+form HTTP ReST requests. Issuing an HTTP POST to the configurations API
+causes StorPerf to talk to your OpenStack's heat service to create a new stack
+with as many agent VMs and attached Cinder volumes as you specify.
+
+After the stack is created, you can issue one or more jobs by issuing a POST
+to the jobs ReST API. The job is the smallest unit of work that StorPerf
+can use to measure the disk's performance.
+
+While the job is running, StorPerf collects the performance metrics from each
+of the disks under test every minute. Once the trend of metrics match the
+criteria specified in the SNIA methodology, the job automatically terminates
+and the valid set of metrics are available for querying.
+
+What is the criteria? Simply put, it specifies that when the metrics
+measured start to "flat line" and stay within that range for the specified
+amount of time, then the metrics are considered to be indicative of a
+repeatable level of performance.
+
+What Data Can I Get?
+====================
+
+StorPerf provides the following metrics:
+
+* IOPS
+* Bandwidth (number of kilobytes read or written per second)
+* Latency
+
+These metrics are available for every job, and for the specific workloads,
+I/O loads and I/O types (read, write) associated with the job.
+
+As of this time, StorPerf only provides textual reports of the metrics.
