[Gluster-devel] Need help with running bench test on Gluster cluster.

[Menaka Mohan]

Hello Nigel B,

Thank you so much for you reply. Recently, I have noticed few syntax errors on the code and I have corrected them. Kindly review the Pull request.

Since I do not have a laptop with good specifications, I am unable to use VMs. I tried and it crashed many times. So with the support of a college friend I have setup the environment in a lab and accessing it through Bitvise SSH client. With the process becoming more complex, I am learning more things.

I have thoroughly gone through Shyam's reply and working on it.

Regards,
Menaka M

I am trying to run the basic bench test on the Gluster cluster from this GitHub repo<https://github.com/gluster/gbench/tree/master/bench-tests/bt-0000-0001>. I also have IOZone installed. While trying to run the provided script, i get the following error. I was trying to identify the cause of the error. Kindly help me with that.

Hi Menaka,

Thanks for taking a look at gbench. It appears that you have uncovered a bug in our documentation and code.

Shyam is the expert here and I'll let him chime in. You need an environment variable with CLIENTS and SERVER to get this working. So when you run this, you need at least two machines (VMs would be best. Happy to guide you on how to set this up if you'd like). It would look something like this:

CLIENTS="192.168.0.1 192.158.0.2" SERVERS="192.168.0.3 192.168.0.3" python GlusterBench.py -s 64 -f 10000 -n 5 -v

I'm making a lot of assumptions here. If there's anything that is confusing, let me know and I'm happy to clarify. I'll let Shyam jump in later today (he's in EST) to chime with anything else I've missed.
