Hello, Trevor and VSPERF team. I'd like to get a quick overview of VSPERF and how the metrics are captured. Sorry if these are dumb questions :)
First, is there a test that simply pushes packets over the network to see what the maximum throughput is, like a saturation test? Does VSPERF capture periodic metrics, or just a summary report at the end? If I change something in the network while the test is running (such as adding more traffic outside of VSPERF), is there a way to see the impact of that while the test is running? The reason behind the questions are for the following scenario: 1) I start up VSPERF on the NICs that represent the tenant network in an OpenStack installation. 2) After 10 minutes, start up StorPerf read/write test that should stress the OpenStack storage network 3) See if there is a change to the VSPERF throughput. Alternatively, as StorPerf does have minute by minute metrics, we can do this: 1) Start StorPerf read/write 2) After 10 minutes, start VSPERF to stress the tenant network NICs 3) Look at the change in StorPerf throughput at the time that VSPERF starts. Thoughts? Regards, Mark Mark Beierl SW System Sr Principal Engineer Dell EMC | Office of the CTO mobile +1 613 314 8106<tel:1-613-314-8106> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
