single server got ~12GB Read/write so it should scale linearly.

With 128 server should be close to 1.5TB  BW?

Large number of Pools (~1000)



128

Server number  seems ok?

740

Create large number of pools (~90MB each),

Write small data with IOR.

Restart all the servers.

Query all the pools

Read the IOR data from each pool with verification

what other operation needed after pool creation? 


Measure server restart time with this many pools

Pool query should report correct sizes after IOR write

IOR read should work fine with data validation after all server restart

Anything more to cover? Some of this tools are going to cover in other test cases







Negative Scenarios with ScalabilityServer failure and rebuild data1287401

Create the multiple pools.

Store the IOR with 2,3,4 replica and with multiple groups.

Kill server one by one 64 maximum (Half the requested size)?

After each server kill read the IOR data and verify the content.

Multiple server can be killed (2/4/8), Object data will be lost if all copy lost. May be we can verify the remaining system is functional

Rebuild should happen for all the object and data should not be corrupted after server failure

daos_run_io_conf1287402

This will exclude the ranks and add it back in to the loop for given number.

We can have maximum 16 targets and include all rank. Test will exclude the rank randomly and add it back.

Pool query is also part of this test to verify the usage 

We have not tried on TACC but locally it works but there are few issue need to be resolved which we caught during local testing (DAOS-3510)

Question:

  • Do we need to test other replica other than what mention in above?
  • Any Erasure encoding class needs to be tested ?
