All that is needed is an untar or unzip of the downloaded file and you're ready to go. It does mean however that if you used the installer to place the proper java executable file name in the 'vdbench' or 'vdbench.bat' script, you'll have to now do this manually. Java requirements: ================== You need at a minimum java 1.5.0 Follow the Java installation instructions. If you don't have the proper Java installed download the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) from www.sun.com, minimum 1.5.0 Note: You don't have to replace the current default Java version; Java can run from your own private directories. Documentation: ============== You will find vdbench.pdf in your install directory, and there are several 'example' parameter files also in the install directory. How to start vdbench? ===================== A very quick test can be done without ever having to create a Vdbench parameter file. Just run: ./vdbench -t And Vdbench will run the following very simple workload: * * This sample parameter file first creates a temporary file * if this is the first time the file is referenced. * It then does a five second 4k 50% read, 50% write test. * sd=sd1,lun=/var/tmp/quick_vdbench_test,size=10m wd=wd1,sd=sd1,xf=4k,rdpct=50 rd=rd1,wd=wd1,iorate=100,elapsed=5,interval=1 After this point your favorite browser to ../vdbench/output/summary.html to look at the reports that vdbench creates. You'll find sample parameter files example1 - example7 in the installation directory.
