  18 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  19 |metric        | IOPS (Average IOs performed per second),                     |
  20 |              | Throughput (Average disk read/write bandwidth rate),         |
  21 |              | Latency (Average disk read/write latency)                    |

  23 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  24 |test purpose  | The purpose of TC006 is to evaluate the IaaS volume storage  |
  25 |              | performance with regards to IOPS, throughput and latency.    |
  26 |              |                                                              |
  27 |              | The purpose is also to be able to spot the trends.           |
  28 |              | Test results, graphs and similar shall be stored for         |
  29 |              | comparison reasons and product evolution understanding       |
  30 |              | between different OPNFV versions and/or configurations.      |

  33 |test tool     | fio                                                          |
  34 |              |                                                              |
  35 |              | fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and   |
  36 |              | stress/hardware verification. It has support for 19          |
  37 |              | different types of I/O engines (sync, mmap, libaio,          |
  38 |              | posixaio, SG v3, splice, null, network, syslet, guasi,       |
  39 |              | solarisaio, and more), I/O priorities (for newer Linux       |
  40 |              | kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more.  |
  41 |              |                                                              |
  42 |              | (fio is not always part of a Linux distribution, hence it    |
  43 |              | needs to be installed. As an example see the                 |
  44 |              | /yardstick/tools/ directory for how to generate a Linux      |
  45 |              | image with fio included.)                                    |
  46 |              |                                                              |
  47 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  48 |test          | fio test is invoked in a host VM with a volume attached on a |
  49 |description   | compute blade, a job file as well as parameters are passed   |
  50 |              | to fio and fio will start doing what the job file tells it   |
  51 |              | to do.                                                       |
  52 |              |                                                              |
  53 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  54 |configuration | file: opnfv_yardstick_tc006.yaml                             |
  55 |              |                                                              |
  56 |              | Fio job file is provided to define the benchmark process     |
  57 |              | Target volume is mounted at /FIO_Test directory              |
  58 |              |                                                              |
  59 |              | For SLA, minimum read/write iops is set to 100,              |
  60 |              | minimum read/write throughput is set to 400 KB/s,            |
  61 |              | and maximum read/write latency is set to 20000 usec.         |
  62 |              |                                                              |
  63 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  64 |applicability | This test case can be configured with different:             |
  65 |              |                                                              |
  66 |              |   * Job file;                                                |
  67 |              |   * Volume mount directory.                                  |
  68 |              |                                                              |
  69 |              | SLA is optional. The SLA in this test case serves as an      |
  70 |              | example. Considerably higher throughput and lower latency    |
  71 |              | are expected. However, to cover most configurations, both    |
  72 |              | baremetal and fully virtualized  ones, this value should be  |
  73 |              | possible to achieve and acceptable for black box testing.    |
  74 |              | Many heavy IO applications start to suffer badly if the      |
  75 |              | read/write bandwidths are lower than this.                   |
  76 |              |                                                              |
  77 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  78 |usability     | This test case is one of Yardstick's generic test. Thus it   |
  79 |              | is runnable on most of the scenarios.                        |

  87 |pre-test      | The test case image needs to be installed into Glance        |

  95 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
  96 |step 1        | A host VM with fio installed is booted.                      |
  97 |              | A 200G volume is attached to the host VM                     |
  98 |              |                                                              |
  99 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
 100 |step 2        | Yardstick is connected with the host VM by using ssh.        |
 101 |              | 'job_file.ini' is copyied from Jump Host to the host VM via  |
 102 |              | the ssh tunnel. The attached volume is formated and mounted. |
 103 |              |                                                              |
 104 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
 105 |step 3        | Fio benchmark is invoked. Simulated IO operations are        |
 106 |              | started. IOPS, disk read/write bandwidth and latency are     |
 107 |              | recorded and checked against the SLA. Logs are produced and  |
 108 |              | stored.                                                      |
 109 |              |                                                              |
 110 |              | Result: Logs are stored.                                     |
 111 |              |                                                              |
 112 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
 113 |step 4        | The host VM is deleted.                                      |
 114 |              |                                                              |
 115 +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
 116 |test verdict  | Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case  |
 117 |              | execution problem.                                           |
 118 |              |                                                              |
