Configuration Mode Commands : System Administration Commands : Performance Test Commands for SteelHead-v : perf-test run
  
perf-test run
Runs a performance test for the SteelHead (virtual edition) to validate CPU performance and disk throughput for a target model.
Syntax
perf-test run test {<test-name> | disk_io_rate {confirm} |optimize_simulate}
Parameters
test <test-name>
Adds a custom test.
test disk_io_rate
Tests the disk throughput rate. The random read and sequential write throughput of each of the data store disks is tested at random locations.
This test clears the data store so you need to run it before placing the appliance in a production environment.
confirm
Confirms that you want to complete the disk performance test. This step is required.
test optimize_simulate
Tests simulated optimization performance.
This test emulates the optimization service under maximum load, bypassing the network stack. The configuration of the emulated service is based on the real configuration on the appliance.
Usage
After deploying a SteelHead-v, use this command if you want to verify its optimization and disk-usage performance before using it in a production environment. Use the show perf-test tests command to view the overall results of the test. Test results indicate the set of SteelHead-v models that can run on the tested appliance.
Example
amnesiac (config) # perf-test run test optimize_simulate
