Verifying hardware capabilities of virtual appliances
This feature is not yet available on versions 10.0.0 and later.
After you deploy an appliance, you might want to verify disk usage performance before using the appliance in a production environment. You can run tests that benchmark your appliance’s performance against that of other Riverbed products.
Running these tests resets the appliance’s data store.
1. Log in to the Management Console on the appliance.
2. Choose Reports > Diagnostics: Benchmarks. Ensure that acceleration services are stopped.
3. Select the tests that you want to run.
Test results indicate the highest virtual appliance that can be run on the hardware supporting the tested appliance.
