|test purpose  | The purpose of TC006 is to evaluate the IaaS volume 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.      |
|              |                                                              |

|              | 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 with a volume attached on a |
|description   | compute blade, a job file as well as parameters are passed   |
|              | to fio and fio will start doing what the job file tells it   |
|              | to do.                                                       |

|              | Fio job file is provided to define the benchmark process     |

|              | 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:             |
|              |                                                              |
|              |   * Job file;                                                |
|              |   * Volume mount directory.                                  |
|              |                                                              |
|              | 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.                                     |
|              |                                                              |

|test sequence | description and expected result                              |

+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 1        | A host VM with fio installed is booted.                      |
|              | A 200G volume is attached to the host VM                     |
|              |                                                              |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 2        | Yardstick is connected with the host VM by using ssh.        |
|              | 'job_file.ini' is copyied from Jump Host to the host VM via  |
|              | the ssh tunnel. The attached volume is formated and mounted. |
|              |                                                              |
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
|step 3        | Fio benchmark 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.                                           |
|              |                                                              |
