If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

How to test?

Update your machine

If you're running Fedora 16, make sure you have all the current updates for it installed, using the update manager.

Get latest glusterfs and hekafs packages

The latest versions are:

glusterfs-3.2.4-1.fc16
hekafs-0.7-15.fc16

Use the following command to install all server nodes:

 yum -y install glusterfs glusterfs-server glusterfs-fuse hekafs

On the client, user the following command to install:

 yum -y install glusterfs glusterfs-fuse hekafs

See HekaFS simple howto for an overview of setting up of a four node HekaFS cluster and HekaFS clients. Remember to open the necessary ports in the cluster nodes firewalls.

If using guest VMs, add any additional storage devices to your VM as necessary. The tests are written assuming that the storage devices are /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc, and mounted at /bricks/sda, /bricks/sdb, etc., respectively.

Start the glusterd and hekafsd daemons on each server node with the following commands:

 service glusterd start
 service hekafsd start

Testing

Follow each of these test cases:

1. QA:Testcase_HekaFS - simple (distributed)
2. QA:Testcase_HekaFS_replicated - replicated
3. QA:Testcase_HekaFS_striped - striped
