| Negative Scenarios with Scalability | Server failure and rebuild data | 128 | 740 | 1 | 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 | 868 for ~2 hours | 868 | |||
| daos_run_io_conf | 128 | 740 | 2 | 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.

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