NovaServers
This scenario class contains procedures concentrated on calling the Nova servers API.
boot_server
Boots one server.
Configuration example
"NovaServers.boot_server":[ { "args":{ "flavor_id":2, "image_id":"539ccae5-5982-4868-b176-23c41ff1195e" }, "times":8, "concurrent":4 } ]
boot_and_bounce_server
Boots one server and then performs N "power operations" on it. The supported power operation actions are:
- stop_start -- Stop the VM and once stopped, start it and wait for it to become active.
- soft_reboot -- Perform a soft reboot of the VM and wait for it to come back up into the ACTIVE state.
- hard_reboot -- Perform a hard reboot of the VM and wait for it to come back into the ACTIVE state.
Note that the configuration format for this benchmark supports a list of power operations. So for example you could specify to stop_start the VM 5 times, followed by soft_boot it 2 times, followed by... These operations are defined in the 'actions' argument which is a list/array.
Configuration example
"NovaServers.boot_and_bounce_server":[ { "args":{ "flavor_id":2, "image_id":"539ccae5-5982-4868-b176-23c41ff1195e", "actions":[ { "soft_reboot":4 } ] }, "times":31, "concurrent":8 } ]
boot_and_delete_server
Boots and deletes one server.
Configuration example
"NovaServers.boot_and_delete_server":[ { "args":{ "flavor_id":1, "image_id":"498c94c1-2547-4ddd-bea2-c5fc881b989f" }, "times":50, "concurrent":10 } ]
snapshot_server
Boots a server, makes its snapshot, then deletes the server and tries to boot it again from the saved snapshot. Finally deletes both the server and its snapshot.
Configuration example
"NovaServers.snapshot_server":[ { "args":{ "flavor_id":1, "image_id":"498c94c1-2547-4ddd-bea2-c5fc881b989f" }, "times":50, "concurrent":10 } ]
