• Right now we can not build and run from source so make sure to run test based on RPM
• Install daos rpm using the command :

sudo yum install -y daos-client daos-tests daos daos-server daos-debuginfo

Running Avocado with VMD device in Ci

• Once you have your PR ready, Merge samirrav/DAOS-8161 branch to run the test in Ci
• Ci has Two servers wolf-156/157 and a single CN wolf-180 so you can run a test with 4 daos servers and 1 client
• Update the test file yaml file small.yaml,
  • VMD stage has Two servers so remove any extra servers
  • VMD stage has single head node which will act as a client so remove the client section from yaml,
  • Replace the bdev_list with variable disk ID which will be replace by Avocado  ["aaaa:aa:aa.a","bbbb:bb:bb.b"]

• Follow example src/tests/ftest/nvme/health.yaml for running multiple servers from same branch  samirrav/DAOS-8161.

• Change the Tag in test python file For example small.py test was running with large so for VMD it has been changed to run with small VMD cluster
