Home Storage OpenSolaris based Server (Install Fedora 9 & Benchmarks)
Thursday Apr 23, 2009
Install Fedora 9 x64-86 from DVD and do disk Benchmarks
This entry is part of HW for Virtualization
Start Fedora 9 x64-86 DVD in GUI mode:
Create partitioning scheme
On first 160GB disk sda I create this layout
| Primary | 24GB | OpenSolaris | None | None | (Now it have id for Linux 83 ) |
| Primary | 20GB | Fedora 9 | ext3 | / | Will install grub there |
| Primary | 4GB | SWAP | Swap | Swap | For Fedora 9 OS |
| Primary | Rest | Linux | ext3 | /data | 100GB mounted under /data |
On rest 3x 500GB drives I create software RAD5 with ext3 and mount in /raid so we can measure drive speeds under Fedora 9.
Install Fedora 9
Process normal install into partition sda2 as Fedora 9 "/", sda4 ex3 I mount as /data and on 3x 500GB drives I create software RAD5 with ext3 and mount in /raid.
Reboot into Fedora 9
- Post configure system on first run: Firewall, selinux and user creation.
- Update system (if you have network connection) with :
yum update
Test system HW
Test RAID5 Ext3 on S-ata II speed
http://www.linux.com/feature/142673
I will test with bonnie++ and IOzone tools
- Install ATrpms repositoy
cat <<EOF >/etc/yum.repos.d/artpms.repo [atrpms] name=Fedora Core \$releasever - \$basearch - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f\$releasever-\$basearch/atrpms/stable gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms gpgcheck=1 EOF
- Search for bonnie++ Disk testing tools
yum -v search bonnie++ Reading Local RPMDB bonnie++.x86_64 : Benchmark suite for hard drive and file system performance Matched from: bonnie++ Bonnie++ is a benchmark suite that is aimed at performing a number of simple tests of hard drive and file system performance. Then you can decide which test is important and decide how to compare different systems after running it. I have no plans to ever have it produce a single number, because I don't think that a single number can be useful when comparing such things. http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/
- Install bonnie++
yum install bonnie++
- Check then RAID 5 is OK
df -h

How To Measure Linux Filesystem I/O Performance With iozone
To generate output in excel binary format use:
iozone -Rab RAID5ext3.wks -s 4G -y 256 -q 4G -f /raid/io.dat
iozone -a -s 4G -y 4 -q 256 -f /raid/io.dat >|/tmp/iozone-stdout.txt

Remove RADI5 from system
- Umount /raid
umount /raid
- Remove /raid mount from /etc/fstab
vim /etc/fstab
- Stop MD0
mdadm -v -S /dev/md0
- Clean RAID devices

Prepare first disk for OpenSolaris? Install
- Change with fdisk type of first partition to Solaris bf
- Install grub for Fedora into /dev/sda2
