5. Test Methodology

The Avaya Networking Test Lab conducted comprehensive tests using a methodology that verified
various fault conditions. Using Vdbench to write and then read x number of bytes, the Test Lab used the
following scenarios to test the solution with a strong focus on High Availability (HA):
1) Test Case 1 - Baseline Test
2) Test Case 2 - Simulate HBA Link Failure
3) Test Case 3 - Send traffic on Link p1 Only
4) Test Case 4 - Send traffic on Link p2 Only
5) Test Case 5 - Simulate Link p1 Failure on SRX
6) Test Case 6 - Simulate Link p2 Failure on SRX
7) Test Case 7 - Simulate Link p1 Failure on VSP with the CLI
8) Test Case 8 - Simulate Link p2 Failure on VSP with the CLI
9) Test Case 9 – Simulate Link p1 Failure on VSP
10) Test Case 10 – Simulate Link p2 Failure on VSP
11) Test Case 11 – Simulate Link p1 Failure on SRX
12) Test Case 12 – Simulate Link p2 Failure on SRX
13) Test Case 13 – Simulate Link p1 Failure on SRX
14) Test Case 14 – Simulate Link p2 Failure on SRX
15) Test Case 15 – Reboot the VSP
