From ce1cdc595a7c386cfa02fa03fb182eead3b92661 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mbeierl Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2018 16:25:39 -0400 Subject: Disk Initialization and Custom Workload Removes the deprecated nowarm and nosdd parameters from the call to StorPerf. Adds a call to initialize the disk right after the stack creation is complete so that the results from the performance run are valid and not skewed by a disk that is not operating at a consistent level of performance. Adds the jobs API v2.0 when the custom parameter 'workloads' is used instead of workload. Improves documentation and adds more info about the workload and workloads parameters.
