There is a basic principal that you cannot average averages. The overall result for the benchmark should be calculated by dviding the sum of the target results by the sum of the baseline results. This is not the same as dividing the sum of the index results by 6. Changing the way this is calculated will give a more mathematically valid way of comparing performance from one host to the other.
Hi there can anyone help me to spot my mistake and please explain why it appears
My code :
#!/usr/bin/gawk -f
BEGIN { bytes =0}
{ temp=$(grep "datafeed\.php" | cut -d" " -f8)
bytes += temp}
END { printf "Number of bytes: %d\n", bytes }

Hi,
I needed space on a FS, and when I've added the space on the filesystem, I did it trough the regular smitty fs inteface and not with smitty cl_lvm.
Can someone help me to repair the situat before a faileover happen ?
Thanks for your help,:mad: (13 Replies)
Hi,
Is there a precompiled binary for Solaris 8 available?
I need to bench mark our Oracle server,
as we are upgrading from SFv880 to SFv890.
Both are fully loaded.
I can't find a sun machine that I can compile the software on.
Tks

I work in a computer company which sells computer configurations and parts of them. And I want to give a choice to customers. If they want to buy a PC with Linux installed, not Windows. But I find difficult to test the Graphic Cards in Linux OS. I have searched the web and I didn't found any... (2 Replies)

DESCRIPTION
obnam-benchmark benchmarks the obnam(1) backup application, by measuring how much time it takes to do a backup, restore, etc, in various
scenarios. obnam-benchmark uses the seivot(1) tool for actually running the benchmarks, but makes some helpful assumptions about things,
to make it simpler to run than running seivot directly.
Benchmarks are run using two different usage profiles: mailspool (all files are small), and mediaserver (all files are big). For each pro-
file, test data of the desired total size is generated, backed up, and then several incremental generations are backed up, each adding some
more generated test data. Then other operations are run against the backup repository: restoring, listing the contents of, and removing
each generation.
The result of the benchmark is a .seivot file per profile, plus a Python profiler file for each run of obnam. These are stored in
../benchmarks. A set of .seivot files can be summarized for comparison with seivots-summary(1). The profiling files can be viewed with
the usual Python tools: see the pstats module.
The benchmarks are run against a version of obnam checked out from version control. It is not (currently) possible to run the benchmark
against an installed version of obnam. Also the larch Python library, which obnam needs, needs to be checked out from version control.
The --obnam-branch and --larch-branch options set the locations, if the defaults are not correct.
OPTIONS --config=FILE
add FILE to config files
--description=DESCRIPTION
describe benchmark
--drop-caches
drop kernel buffer caches
--dump-config
write out the entire current configuration
--dump-memory-profile=METHOD
make memory profiling dumps using METHOD, which is one of: none, simple, meliae, or heapy (default: simple)
--dump-setting-names
write out all names of settings and quit
--file-size=SIZE
how big should files be?
--generate-manpage=TEMPLATE
fill in manual page TEMPLATE

use DIR as the larch branch (default: /sbuild-nonexistent/larch/trunk)
--list-config-files
list all possible config files
--log=FILE
write log entries to FILE (default is to not write log files at all); use "syslog" to log to system log, or "none" to disable log-
ging
--log-keep=N
keep last N logs (10)
--log-level=LEVEL
log at LEVEL, one of debug, info, warning, error, critical, fatal (default: debug)
--log-max=SIZE
rotate logs larger than SIZE, zero for never (default: 0)
--log-mode=MODE
set permissions of new log files to MODE (octal; default 0600)
--no-default-configs
clear list of configuration files to read
--obnam-branch=DIR
use DIR as the obnam branch to benchmark (default: .)
--output=FILE
write output to FILE, instead of standard output
--profile-name=PROFILE-NAME
short name for benchmark scenario
--results=DIR
put results under DIR (../benchmarks)
--seivot-branch=DIR
use DIR as the seivot branch (default: installed seivot)
--seivot-log=SEIVOT-LOG
seivot log setting
--sftp-delay=SFTP-DELAY
add artifical delay to sftp transfers (in milliseconds)
--size=PAIR
add PAIR to list of sizes to benchmark (e.g., 10g/1m)
--use-sftp-repository
access the repository over SFTP (requires ssh to localhost to work)
--use-sftp-root
access the live data over SFTP (requires ssh to localhost to work)
--verify
verify restores
--version
show program's version number and exit
--with-encryption
run benchmark using encryption
ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR This variable must be set. It controls where the temporary files (generated test data) is stored. If this variable was not set,
they'd be put into /tmp, which easily fills up, to the detriment of the entire system. Thus. obnam-benchmark requires that the lo-
cation is set explicitly. (You can still use /tmp if you want, but you have to set TMPDIR explicitly.)
FILES
../benchmarks/
The default directory where results of the benchmark are stored, in a subdirectory named after the branch and revision numbers.
EXAMPLE
To run a small benchmark:
TMPDIR=/var/tmp obnam-benchmark --size=10m/1m
To run a benchmark using existing data:
TMPDIR=/var/tmp obnam-benchmark --use-existing=$HOME/Mail
To view the currently available benchmark results:
seivots-summary ../benchmarks/*/*mail*.seivot | less -S
seivots-summary ../benchmarks/*/*media*.seivot | less -S
(You need to run seivots-summary once per usage profile.)
