Browbeat Rally Plugin: nova-create-pbench-uperf
================================================
Warning:
--------
Please review the "To make this work" section. Skipping any steps will result in failure.
Note:
-----
We do not support more then a single concurrency, and single time.
YML Config:
-----------
This section with describe the args in the nova-create-pbench-uperf.yml
.. code-block:: yaml
image:
name: 'pbench-image'
flavor:
name: 'm1.small'
zones:
server: 'nova:hypervisor-1'
client: 'nova:hypervisor-2'
external:
name: "public"
user: "root"
password: "100yard-"
test_types: "stream"
protocols: "tcp"
samples: 1
test_name: "pbench-uperf-test"
**Starting from the top:**
**`image: name:`** This is the image that you want to Rally to launch in the cloud, this guest should have pbench pre-installed.
**`flavor: name:`** is the size of the guest you want rally to launch. For the sake of being simple
**`zones: server: client:`** This is where you want the guests to be pinned to. This can be the same hypervisor.
**`external: name:`** name of the public network which will be attached to a router that Rally creates.
**`user:`** the user to login to the remote instances
**`password:`** not totally necessary, but the password for the user above.
**`test_types:`** the tests for pbench-uperf to run (stream|rr)
**`protocols:`** which protocols to run through (tcp|udp)
**`test_name:`** give the test a name
Before you begin:
-----------------
1. Create a pbench-image that has PBench preinstalled into the guest.
1a. Use http://www.x86.trystack.org/dashboard/static/rook/centos-noreqtty.qcow2 image
1b. You can use : helper-script/pbench-user.file
2a. This will not setup the image for root access
2. Rally cannot use a snapshot to launch the guest, so export the image you created above, and re-import it.
3. Configure the nova-create-pbench-uperf.yml with the right params.
Rally Standup:
--------------
Rally will build the following:
1. Create Router
2. Create Network/Subnet
3. Set Router gateway to provided Public network
4. Attached newly created network/subnet to newly created Router.
Functions:
----------
1. Launch a PBench Jumphost, assign a floating IP to the Jump Host so Rally can reach it.
2. Launch a pair of guests
3. Run PBench-uperf between the pair of guests
4. Send results
What this sets up:
------------------
.. image:: nova-create-pbench-uperf.png
What do you get out of this?
----------------------------
Here is example output from this work : https://gist.github.com/jtaleric/36b7fbbe93dfcb8f00cced221b366bb0
To make this work:
------------------
- PBench is only _verfied_ to work with root, so the user MUST be root. sudo will also not work.
root is _ONLY_ needed within the guests that are launched within the cloud
- Must update on the controller(s) `/etc/neutron/policy.json` ::
create_router:external_gateway_info:enable_snat": "rule:regular_user",
- Must update on the controller(s) `/etc/nova/policy.json` ::
"os_compute_api:servers:create:forced_host": "",
* Most recently OpenStack Newton Nova switched to having a default `policy.json` so the file will be blank. Simply add this rule above.
