Iruya 1.0

Mark Beierl

Important notes

Heat stack support is being sunsetted in StorPerf Iruya. Once Kali is released, StorPerf will no longer support the following APIs:

/configurations /quota

Additionally, the stack_name parameter will no longer be used. This also means that all tests must run using IP addresses.

Summary

StorPerf is a standalone framework that uses OpenStack to measure Cinder volume performance. If desired, it can push results to the OPNFV Test Results DB, or the embedded Graphite web interface can be used to perform ad hoc queries.

This release provides the ability to use existing servers (virtual or physical) as the targets for workload execution. All that is required is the IP address and the SSH key or username/password for StorPerf to be able to log in and start FIO workloads.

Known issues

  • Cirros target VMs do not always mount Cinder volumes on first boot. Sometimes a reboot of the VM is required to properly attach the Cinder volume to /dev/vdb

  • A bug in the linux kernel can prevent Cinder volumes from attaching to VMs using ARM architecture. Specifying the following properties in Glance for the ARM based image will work around this problem. Note: this will cause the device to show up as a SCSI device and therefore will be /dev/sdb instead of /dev/vdb.
