   1 How to prepare initiator virtual machines for iSCSI target testing
   2 ------------------------------------------------------------------
   3
   4 1. Install operating systems.
   5
   6   - FreeBSD: Use default settings for everything.  Don't install
   7     ports from the system installer, use "portsnap fetch extract"
   8     after installation instead.
   9
  10   - Fedora: Change the environment to "Minimal install".
  11
  12   - Solaris: Use defaults.
  13
  14 2. Install required software.
  15
  16   - FreeBSD: install from ports, with 'make install BATCH=1':
  17         benchmarks/bonnie++
  18         benchmarks/iozone
  19         benchmarks/postmark
  20         databases/postgresql92-server
  21         databases/postgresql92-contrib
  22
  23  - Fedora:
  24         yum install btrfs-progs bonnie++ postgresql-server postgresql-contrib iscsi-initiator-utils
  25         chkconfig iscsid on
  26         chkconfig iscsi on
  27
  28         After that, install iozone and postmark from source; they are not
  29         provided by Fedora; download sites:
  30
  31         http://www.iozone.org/src/current/iozone3_397.tar
  32         http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/debian/pool/main/p/postmark/postmark_1.53.orig.tar.gz
  33
  34         To build iozone, use "make linux".  Copy the 'postmark' and 'iozone' binaries
  35         to /usr/local/bin/.
  36
  37  - Solaris:
  38         Install gcc:
  39
  40         pkg install gcc-45
  41         pkg install system/header
  42
  43         After that, install bonnie++, iozone, and postmark from source; download sites:
  44
  45         http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/experimental/bonnie++-1.97.tgz
  46         http://www.iozone.org/src/current/iozone3_397.tar
  47         http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/debian/pool/main/p/postmark/postmark_1.53.orig.tar.gz
  48
  49         To build iozone, use "make Solaris10gcc".  Copy the 'bonnie++', 'postmark', and 'iozone'
  50         binaries to /usr/bin/.
  51
  52         Fetch the binary PostgreSQL distribution from the link below and untar to /usr/postgres/:
  53
  54         http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v9.2.3/solaris/solaris11/i386/postgresql-9.2.3-S11.i386-32.tar.bz2
  55
  56 3. Run the test script.
  57
  58         ./iscsi-test.sh
