SDSC "drive-data" roll

Overview

This roll bundles the scripts and configuration for drive performance testing tools.

Requirements

To build/install this roll you must have root access to a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance).

If your Rocks development machine does not have Internet access you must download the appropriate drive-data source file(s) using a machine that does have Internet access and copy them into the src/<package> directories on your Rocks development machine.

Dependencies

The sdsc-roll must be installed on the build machine, since the build process depends on make include files provided by that roll.

Building

To build the drive-data-roll, execute this on a Rocks development machine (e.g., a frontend or development appliance):

% make 2>&1 | tee build.log

A successful build will create the file drive-data-*.disk1.iso. If you built the roll on a Rocks frontend, proceed to the installation step. If you built the roll on a Rocks development appliance, you need to copy the roll to your Rocks frontend before continuing with installation.

Installation

To install, execute these instructions on a Rocks frontend:

% rocks add roll *.iso
% rocks enable roll drive-data
% cd /export/rocks/install
% rocks create distro
% rocks run roll drive-data | bash

Testing

The drive-data-roll includes a test script which can be run to verify proper installation of the roll documentation, binaries and module files. To run the test scripts execute the following command(s):

% /root/rolltests/drive-data.t
