The test also | +| | ensures the volumes are performing at a consistent level | +| | of performance by measuring metrics every minute, and | +| | comparing the trend of the metrics over the run. By | +| | evaluating the min and max values, as well as the slope of | +| | the trend, it can make the determination that the metrics | +| | are stable, and not fluctuating beyond industry standard | +| | norms. | | | | +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ |configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc074.yaml | @@ -38,7 +49,8 @@ Yardstick Test Case Description TC074 | | * public_network: "ext-net" - name of public network | | | * volume_size: 2 - cinder volume size | | | * block_sizes: "4096" - data block size | -| | * queue_depths: "4" | +| | * queue_depths: "4" - the number of simultaneous I/Os | +| | to perform at all times | | | * StorPerf_ip: "192.168.200.2" | | | * query_interval: 10 - state query interval | | | * timeout: 600 - maximum allowed job time | @@ -50,7 +62,11 @@ Yardstick Test Case Description TC074 | | performance in an NFVI. | | | | | | StorPerf is delivered as a Docker container from | -| | https://hub.docker.com/r/opnfv/storperf/tags/. | +| | https://hub.docker.com/r/opnfv/storperf-master/tags/. | +| | | +| | The underlying tool used is FIO, and StorPerf supports | +| | any FIO option in order to tailor the test to the exact | +| | workload needed. | | | | +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+ |references | Storperf_ | @@ -80,9 +96,17 @@ Yardstick Test Case Description TC074 | | - rr: 100% Read, random access | | | - wr: 100% Write, random access | | | - rw: 70% Read / 30% write, random access | -| | * nossd: Do not perform SSD style preconditioning. | -| | * nowarm: Do not perform a warmup prior to | | | measurements. | +| | * workloads={json maps} | +| | This parameter supercedes the workload and calls the V2.0 | +| | API in StorPerf.
