The easiest way to learn how Rally works is to use already existing OpenStack deployed by DevStack.  
+
''Everything moved to https://rally.readthedocs.org''
So let assume that we have 2 VMs:
 
  
  Vm1 - 192.168.1.2 (with Rally)
+
Here is [https://rally.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html Rally Step by Step Guide]
  Vm2 - 192.168.1.3 (with OpenStack deployed by DevStack)
 
 
 
=== Preparing ===
 
 
 
1) Installing Rally  on Vm1
 
To install Rally on Vm1 use this [[Rally/installation|instruction]]
 
 
 
2) Installing OpenStack using DevStack on Vm2
 
 
 
  ssh root@192.168.1.3
 
  git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git
 
  cd devstack && ./stack.sh
 
 
 
=== Action! ===
 
 
 
==== Prepare your config file ====
 
Requires two configuration files to describe a deployment and a benchmarking task. That allows to register an installation and then perform tasks of benchmarking.
 
 
 
===== Deployment =====
 
In our case we already have got an installation of OpenStack. Follow to sample '''doc/samples/deployments/dummy.json''' and fill all appropriate parameters. The configuration file stored in a separate file '''dummy.json''':
 
<pre>
 
{
 
  "name": "DummyEngine",
 
  "endpoint": {
 
    "auth_url": "http://192.168.1.3:5000/v2.0/",
 
    "username": "admin",
 
    "password": "admin",
 
    "tenant_name": "admin"
 
  }
 
}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
DevStack deploys all OpenStack component on Vm2.
 
 
 
'''NOTE''' that endpoints (username, password, tenant_name have to belong to admin)
 
 
 
===== Benchmarking =====
 
A sample of a task configuration also a good point to start. Take copy of '''doc/samples/tasks/boot-and-delete.json''', specify a proper image_id and store to a separate file '''boot-and-delete.json''':
 
<pre>
 
{
 
  "NovaServers.boot_and_delete_server": [
 
    {"args": {"flavor_id": 1, "image_id": "0d7cfe07-f684-4afa-813d-ca2611373c59"},
 
    "config": {"times": 2, "active_users": 1}},
 
    {"args": {"flavor_id": 1, "image_id": "0d7cfe07-f684-4afa-813d-ca2611373c59"},
 
    "config": {"times": 4, "active_users": 2}}
 
  ]
 
}
 
</pre>
 
 
 
==== Run Rally! ====
 
 
 
If you didn't create Rally DB you should run this command:
 
 
 
    $ rally-manage db recreate
 
 
 
 
 
First, the deployment should be added in Rally:
 
 
 
    $ rally deployment create --name=mydeploy --filename dummy.json
 
 
 
List all deployments to get its UUID:
 
 
 
    $ rally deployment list
 
    +--------------------------------------+----------------------------+----------+------------------+
 
    |                uuid                |        created_at        |  name  |      status      |
 
    +--------------------------------------+----------------------------+----------+------------------+
 
    | 7712c8de-1539-4f4e-8a77-0a54c64499e8 | 2013-11-25 14:58:20.310001 | mydeploy | deploy->finished |
 
    +--------------------------------------+----------------------------+----------+------------------+
 
 
 
Ok now we should run our rally with benchmark configuration:
 
 
 
    $ rally --verbose task start --deploy-id=7712c8de-1539-4f4e-8a77-0a54c64499e8 --task boot-and-delete.json
 
 
 
Now using another ssh connection to Rally VM. Run this command:
 
 
 
    $ rally task list
 
    +--------------------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------+--------+
 
    |                uuid                |        created_at        |          status        | failed |
 
    +--------------------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------+--------+
 
    | 83d9e08c-4f2b-4c1d-9c83-f36bcc6b5a68 | 2013-09-16 05:28:57.241456 | test_tool->benchmarking | False  |
 
    +--------------------------------------+----------------------------+-------------------------+--------+
 
 
 
To get detailed results by task with uuid:  83d9e08c-4f2b-4c1d-9c83-f36bcc6b5a68 you should run:
 
 
 
    $ rally task detailed  8532319f-d093-47de-b9f3-2909c03c7e30
 
 
 
    ================================================================================
 
    Task 83d9e08c-4f2b-4c1d-9c83-f36bcc6b5a68 is finished.

===== Tips & Tricks =====
 
 
 
In order to facilitate command line usage, the 'rally use' command is available
 
 
 
To use a deployment id as default for next commands :
 
 
 
    $ rally use deployment 7712c8de-1539-4f4e-8a77-0a54c64499e8
 
 
 
Another way to make a deployment default for next command is to set the 'RALLY_DEPLOYMENT' environment variable
 
 
 
    $ export RALLY_DEPLOYMENT=7712c8de-1539-4f4e-8a77-0a54c64499e8
 
 
 
Now, you can just called any command that needs a deploy-id param, without actually adding this param. The default deployment id will be picked
 
 
 
    $ rally --verbose task start --task boot-and-delete.json
