++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test case id | OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC005_STORAGE PERFORMANCE |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|metric | IOPS (Average IOs performed per second), |
+| | Throughput (Average disk read/write bandwidth rate), |
+| | Latency (Average disk read/write latency) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test purpose | The purpose of TC005 is to evaluate the IaaS storage |
+| | performance with regards to IOPS, throughput and latency. |
+| | |
+| | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends. |
+| | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for |
+| | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding |
+| | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations. |
+| | |

+|test tool | fio |
+| | |
+| | fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and |
+| | stress/hardware verification. It has support for 19 |
+| | different types of I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio, |
+| | posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi, |
+| | solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux |
+| | kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more. |
+| | |
+| | (fio is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it |
+| | needs to be installed. As an example see the |
+| | /yardstick/tools/ directory for how to generate a Linux |
+| | image with fio included.) |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test | fio test is invoked in a host VM on a compute blade, a job |
+|description | file as well as parameters are passed to fio and fio will |
+| | start doing what the job file tells it to do. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc005.yaml |
+| | |
+| | IO types is set to read, write, randwrite, randread, rw. |
+| | IO block size is set to 4KB, 64KB, 1024KB. |
+| | fio is run for each IO type and IO block size scheme, |
+| | each iteration runs for 30 seconds (10 for ramp time, 20 for |
+| | runtime). |
+| | |
+| | For SLA, minimum read/write iops is set to 100, |
+| | minimum read/write throughput is set to 400 KB/s, |
+| | and maximum read/write latency is set to 20000 usec. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|applicability | This test case can be configured with different: |
+| | |
+| | * IO types; |
+| | * IO block size; |
+| | * IO depth; |
+| | * ramp time; |
+| | * test duration. |
+| | |
+| | Default values exist. |
+| | |
+| | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an |
+| | example. Considerably higher throughput and lower latency |
+| | are expected. However, to cover most configurations, both |
+| | baremetal and fully virtualized ones, this value should be |
+| | possible to achieve and acceptable for black box testing. |
+| | Many heavy IO applications start to suffer badly if the |
+| | read/write bandwidths are lower than this. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|usability | This test case is one of Yardstick's generic test. Thus it |
+| | is runnable on most of the scenarios. |

+|pre-test | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance |
+|conditions | with fio included in it. |
+| | |
+| | No POD specific requirements have been identified. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test sequence | description and expected result |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 1 | A host VM with fio installed is booted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 2 | Yardstick is connected with the host VM by using ssh. |
+| | 'fio_benchmark' bash script is copyied from Jump Host to |
+| | the host VM via the ssh tunnel. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 3 | 'fio_benchmark' script is invoked. Simulated IO operations |
+| | are started. IOPS, disk read/write bandwidth and latency are |
+| | recorded and checked against the SLA. Logs are produced and |
+| | stored. |
+| | |
+| | Result: Logs are stored. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|step 4 | The host VM is deleted. |
+| | |
++--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
+|test verdict | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case |
+| | execution problem. |
+| | |
