Test Case 4 - Simulate Module Failure By Removing Module 3; Test Case 5 - Reinsert The Failed Module 3 - Avaya VSP 9000 Technical Configuration Manual

Test Case 4 – Simulate module failure by
5.4
removing module 3
The objective of this test case is to simulate a VSP 9000 module failure by removing module 3 and then
validating that each PC continues to read and write to their RAID.
Test Steps
1) Confirm that all links are up on the
VSP.
Start Vdbench from the PCs.
2) After Vdbench has been running
for a few minutes, remove module
3 from the VSP.
3) Confirm that Vdbench on each PC
continues reading and writing to
the storage array.
4) Wait for Vdbench to finish reading
and writing to verify the results.
Test Case 5 – Reinsert the failed module 3
5.5
The objective of this test case is to reinsert module 3 from Test Case 4 and then validate that data
resumes running on the failed module.
Test Steps
1) Restart Vdbench again with only
one link per HBA card and two
links per SRX.
Module 3 on the VSP should still
be removed.
2) After Vdbench has been running
for a few minutes, reinsert module
3 in the VSP.
3) Wait for Vdbench to finish reading
and writing to verify the results.

Expected Results
Vdbench should launch and begin
reading and writing to the storage
array.
Since half the links are on module 3,
and the other half are on module 6,
we should be able to remove an I/O
module and all devices will still have a
link and be reachable.
Confirm that Vdbench continues to
read and write to the storage array
with half the links available.
Vdbench should finish with no errors
in the log file and all data should be
validated.
Expected Results
Vdbench should start with no issues.
Module 3 should come up and the
links going to the HBAs and SRXs
should come up with no issues.
Vdbench should continue to read and
write to the storage array.
Vdbench should finish with no errors
in the log file and all data should be
validated.
