Performanc Bench about openstorage HOT 8 CLOSED

We usually run fio. Pinging @ankitgd for more details.

from openstorage.

@ankitgd would be possible to have the benchmark setup guidance ? Then I can have a chance to run the benchmark if possible.

We just run fio against the exposed volumes. The results depend on the underlying hardware, but I'd recommend to run that.

@gourao how do you run fio? Do you run fio inside of container?

from openstorage.

I run it at the host - It should not matter how you run fio.

Yes we run fio as well as real app work load generation e.g. sysbench. We run them both at the host directly on the volumes as well as in containers. We're also going to run these benchmark tools on a daily basis against openstorage and will make them available for anyone who wishes to run benchmarks.

@jvinod sounds great. thanks.Are you able to share the fio plugin to run the performance bench against the volume? thanks.

Here is an example of running fio from Docker...

docker run --rm ankitgd/fio_drv --blocksize=4k-64k --ioengine=libaio --readwrite=randrw --size=50% --filesize=1M-10M --name=test --verify=md5 --time_based --direct=1 --gtod_reduce=1 --iodepth=1 --randrepeat=1 --rwmixread=75 --nrfiles=300
