Test Case 1 - Baseline Test - Avaya VSP 9000 Technical Configuration Manual

Test Case 1 – Baseline test
5.1
The objective of this test case is to test the solution under normal conditions and retrieve baseline
operating data.
Test Steps
1) Confirm that vlan 100 was created
on the VSP. All ports connected to
the PC's HBAs and the SRXs
should be in vlan 100.
Confirm that all ports come up.
2) Configure five different RAIDS of
various sizes on the SRX. After the
RAIDs are online, confirm that each
PC can see the drives and the
drives are mountable ethdrv-stat.
Format each RAID for testing mkfs -
t ext3 /dev/<device>.
Each PC should mount a different
RAID array mount -t ext3
/dev/<device> /mnt/coraid
3) Confirm that the RAID is reachable
to the drive and write a file to it with
the following command: cd
/mnt/coraid;touch foo
4) Launch Vdbench on each PC with
the target being the RAID array. Set
the test to run for one hour,
./vdbench -f param -vr. This will
read the parameter file for its
configuration and do immediate data
validation.
5) Wait one hour for the reading and
writing to complete. Vdbench stores
all the results in html format in the
output directory.
Launch Firefox to read the results.
Confirm that the error log contains
no errors. Also confirm that the data
verification confirms that all data
was verified and accounted for.

Expected Results
All 10 GbE ports should have link and
be up.
Confirm that the RAID arrays were
created on the SRXs and can be
seen from the PCs.
From the PCs, you should be able to
format the RAIDs and then mount
them.
RAID arrays should be readable and
writable from the PCs.
RAID arrays should appear local to
the PC.
Vdbench should have a parameter
file setup so that Vdbench knows
which drive to write to, and how much
writing and reading it should do as
well as duration. Vdbench should
launch and begin reading and writing
to the arrays.
The Vdbench error log should contain
no errors. When Vdbench
terminates, it should also verify that
all data was written, read, and
accurate.
