Tests

Once you hit the “Test” button you can go watch some movies. It’s take a time depend on your HW. For me it was couple of hours.

It starts with VM deployment

It will create bunch of VM’s (each 4vCPU, 4GB of RAM, 9xHDD (total 250GB))

Testing was done by using Vdbench VM with input argument “-fvdb-8vmdk-100ws-4k-70rdpct-100randompct-8threads”

Results

Tested VSAN configuration:

4x Node configuration with 10gigabit connection
VC build: VMware vCenter Server 6.5.0 build-7515524

Each ESXi host:

Build: VMware ESXi 6.5.0 build-7388607
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4114 CPU @ 2.20GHz ( Packages: 2, Cores: 20 )
Memory: 256 GB
Server vendor/model: Dell Inc. PowerEdge FC640
VSAN Disks:
- SSD: Local TOSHIBA Disk (naa.58ce38ee2000c0ad)
  - TOSHIBA PX05SMB080Y
  - 800 GB

After Vdbench testing is finished, the results are collected from all VM’s. And you can view the result at

In the .TXT file is summary results

Or you can download your result in zip file from

In this saved .zip file are also the graphs with more details. Same what you can see on web http://<YOUR_BENCHMARK2_IP>:8080/results/

Graphs

Just few of them..

Per disk

Almost in each graph section you can click and get full graphs.

Also on a web and in the .ZIP file are result in text form…
