Reclassification of VMmark 2.5 to VMmark 2.5.2

Hello

I have an installation old but existing of VMmark 2.5 with everything up to 10 tiles. VMmark executions go very well with full compliance.

Now, I understand that present the results before 15 April cycle I need the patch with VMmark 2.5 1 or for presentation at a later date that I have VMmark 2.5.2.

I have 3 questions: -.

1. I am unable to find VMmark 2.5.1 fixes. Can see that for 2.5.2 here ( https://my.vmware.com/group/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VMMARK_250 & productId = 187 & rPId = 3218 ).

Has it been removed from the site now?

In addition, I did not understand what should be the last date of submission of result with 2.5.1? It is mentioned as ' April 15, 2014 will be the last cycle in which VMmark 2.5.1 proposals will be accepted ".

2. If I have applied fixes for such 2.5.2, mentioned here VMmark 2.5.2 released and README, I upgraded versions of material of all VMs to 10? Those current hardware version 7 or 8. It will affect anything else in my existing configuration?


3. what I understand, that is, patch must be applied on the first customer and nothing else to do anywhere else. Am I wrong?

Hello

1 VMmark replaced 2.5.2 VMmark 2.5.1 that day, he was released.  VMmark 2.5.2 is a patch roll that contains all patches of the patch in VMmark 2.5.1 as mentioned in the release announcement.  There is no advantage in trying to update to VMmark 2.5.1 at this stage.

2. the physical versions of your virtual machines are independent of version 2.5 of VMmark, ensuring that you have the same version throughout your workload types (Ex: virtual machines of DS2DB have the same version) is required.  It should not affect anything else in your system with the exception of the VMMARK2.config, also noted in the file ReadMe.txt Patch VMmark 2.5.2, but it is fairly easy to fill in relevant information to a version that is copied into your existing results files.  You can always make a complete copy of your directory VMmark2 on your preferred as C:\VMmark2-bkup just to be sure.

3. This only applies if you have already installed VMmark 2.5.1.  Since you have not, you will need to do an extra step for the upgrade of the ptd-windows - x 86 .exe, which is covered in the ReadMe.txt of Patch VMmark 2.5.2.

    It seems that, as jamesz08 mentioned, naming 8.3 is disabled on your client, which you must activate it.

    In the results you have not validated, no short name for LoadGenCmd.exe was listed (e.g. LOADGE ~ 2.EXE).

    We expect this line as follows:

    2008-04-21 05:39 59 472 LOADGE ~ 2.EXE LoadGenCmd.exe

    Another difference, as you can see, this is the date and time must match the format MM/DD/YYYY and the 12-hour clock. Make sure that the date and time format used by all systems Windows (that is, all clients and the server vCenter) is the standard of the USA (i.e. day/month/year). Please let us know if you have a problem with these reconfigurations.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Mark,

    No, I mean the VMware tools in the model used for deployed operations.  See the section called "Preparing the model to deploy handling" in the current version of the Guide VMmark benchmarking for full instructions, which should have all the information you need.

  • VMmark ends, but Score .out is empty

    Hello

    I'm working with VMmark for a few weeks, but I'm stuck.

    I'm still working on the first tile (tile0) and even if it works without steps failed (just a few caveats), the .out with the score of the tile file by saying only one line: the system cannot find the path specified. The same goes for the RMQmgr - out .txt file.

    I've done some checking:

    -RMQRabbit service is running

    -hosts file seems correct, ping worked at each machine.

    -Staf responds as expected (stac _machine_ ping ping)

    -Perl is the path

    -ssh to esxi servers works fine (without promting password)

    -client0 run outside the cluster

    I am aware that SvMotion is failing (I have just a single data store)

    Attached you will find the result directory, the hosts file and pings of staf.

    Can someone help me on this one please?

    Kind regards.

    Dario

    This generally indicates that you don't have enough storage accommodation of your VMs mail server.  Try to add more drives, changing the raid type to something more powerful, etc..  It will depend largely on how you have the program installed and tuned to your specific environment.

  • VMmark 2.5 Messaging server error (loadgen)

    First of all, let me say I have read through the forum.  I have all the parts 2.5 VMmark works correctly, with the exception of the workload of mail server.  It starts, but then ends with an error.  By reading the other questions, it seems apparent in the responses on the mail server responds too slowly.

    However, here is the question.  I have no other charges running job (as configured in the VMMARK2. CONFIGURATION file).  I am also tracking my storage using esxtop to see latencies reported and transfer.  During the first 5 minutes (when loadgen runs), found the highest read or write latency was less than 5 ms.

    The LVAD and GAVG show results almost identical to the esxtop, located less than 5 ms with the column QAVG/cmd showing 0.01 or less at all times.  Historical information for the data store in vCenter shows similar results.  So, obviously almost no tail storage or latency.  With no other job running, the CPU and memory on the system are also very low.

    So my question is why the mail server do not work?  Pointers much appreciated.  Attached is a zip file out of the folder "Mailserver" from the directory "c:\vclient\mailserver" of customers.

    Yes, you can manually run the Exchange using LoadGen workload directly.

    In my view, "on-demand Run Length should be 3 hours.

    I don't know where you got the tasks / user / setting day leave, but I can confirm the rest of the simulation settings are correct.

    To start the Exchange using LoadGen workload, follow the steps under "configure LoadGen' which should be at page 100 of the 2.5 Benchmarking Guide. Instead of using vmmark2initializationtemplate.xml, use C:\vclient\mailserver\vmmark2-mailserver0.xml. This is the same file that is used by the reference beam VMmark, so you can be sure the manual run Loadgen is identical to a Loadgen VMmark run. You shouldn't have to change all the fields and then select 'Start followed by initialization of simulation' to run.

    Exception logs will be generated to C:\Program Files\Exchange Load Generator and search in logs LoadGenInit * and LoadGenSim *.

  • ONTAP-v in a vmmark test

    Has anyone tried a VMMark test with a virtual machine that is used to manage the cluster storage?

    I have several hardware solutions, I am unable to run VMMark because they contain foreign to the workload Vms(for storage). ClusterVMapping .txt reports an incorrect number of virtual machines in the tiles, which is what I expected.

    Is it possible to exclude these virtual machines in the vmmark2.config?

    Hello

    You can disable the cluster mapping by editing the file VMMARK2.config and uncomment then by setting "DoClusterMapping = 0".

  • VMmark test on different subnet

    Hello

    Require VMmark tile VMs to be on the same subnet as vCenter? I have my VMs on 192.168.x.x subnet, however my Console ESXi and vCenter is on 172.140.x.x)... they are not reachible between them... And I see the VMmark request details vCenter configuration file and the data store...

    I don't know if I can run benchmarks on this environment. Which will work?

    Thank you!

    / JAS

    PS: Sorry for the double posting. I think I posted the same question earlier on a community lot, but received no answers.

    Hello

    No, your VMS don't need to be on the same subnet as your vCenter.   You network seems fine. Only the first client must be able to communicate with all hosts, virtual machines, the clients and the vCenter.  This is usually accomplished by having two network cards in the preferred customer.

  • VMmark can handle sets of tiles in more than one cluster?

    Although it might not be sanctioned, I would use VMmark for test performance with other cluster configurations. For example, I would like to have sets of tiles running on two cluster hosts. I always expect vMotioning fast to be limited within a cluster. Is this possible?

    Sorry, but the harness does not have the ability to span multiple clusters.  One of the key requirements of VMmark2 is that all virtual machines have the capacity of vMotion for any host under test.
