Description
This tool is designed to benchmark a collection of depots and a single client by doing low-level allocation creation and data transfers. Some test can be skipped if the count is set to 0.
Options
- -d
- Enable minimal debug output
- -dd
- Enable FULL debug output
- -network_chksum type blocksize
- Enable network checksumming for transfers. type should be SHA256, SHA512, SHA1, or MD5. blocksize determines how many bytes to send between checksums in kbytes.
- -disk_chksum type blocksize
- Use block level checksum allocations. type should be NONE, SHA256, SHA512, SHA1, or MD5. If NONE is specified it will force the creation of allocations without checksums. If the option is not specified then the resources default options are used. blocksize determines how many bytes to send between checksums in kbytes.
- -validate
- Validate disk chksum data. Option is ignored unless disk chksumming is enabled.
- -config ibp.cfg
- Use the IBP configuration defined in given file. nthreads overrides value in config file unless -1.
- -phoebus ppath
- Use Phoebus protocol for data transfers. The Phoebus path si a comma separated List of phoebus hosts/ports, eg. gateway1/1234,gateway2/4321.
- -tcpsize tcpbufsize
- Use this value, in KB, for the TCP send/recv buffer sizes.
- -duration duration
- Allocation duration in sec. Needs to be big enough to last the entire run. The default duration is 900 sec.
- -sync
- Use the synchronous protocol. Default uses asynchrounous transfers.
- -alias
- Use alias allocations for all I/O operations.
- -progress
- Print completion progress.
- -random
- Initializes the transfer buffers with quasi-random data.
- n_depots
- Number of depot tuplets defined next
- depot port RID
- Depot tuple comprised of the depot hostname, port and resource to use. A RID of 0 lets the depot pick a resource.
- nthreads
- Max Number of simultaneous threads to use. Use -1 for defaults or value in ibp.cfg
- ibp_timeout
- Timeout(sec) for each IBP copmmand
- alias_createremove_count
- Number of 0 byte files to create and remove using alias allocations. Set this value to 0 to skip the test.
- createremove_count
- Number of 0 byte files to create and remove to test metadata performance. Set this value to 0 to skip the test.
- readwrite_count
- Number of files to write sequentially then read sequentially. Set this value to 0 to skip the test.
- readwrite_alloc_size
- Size of each allocation in KB for sequential and random tests
- rw_block_size
- Size of each R/W operation in KB for sequential and random tests
- read_mix_fraction
- Fraction of Random I/O operations that are READS
- smallio_count
- Number of random small I/O operations. Set this value to 0 to skip the test.
- small_min_size
- Minimum size of each small I/O operation(kb)
- small_max_size
- Max size of each small I/O operation(kb)
- small_read_fraction
- Fraction of small random I/O operations that are READS
