Hi,
what is the purpose of DeployVMinfo?
I have deploy/DeployVMinfo = DeployVM0:xx.xx.xx.xx
I can see a suggested static IP address shows in hosts-stub.txt, I have added it into /etc/hosts
but I don‘t know why we need that, I don’t see I have a machine created with name DeployVM0 in vcenter.
Thanks,
sunhero
In short, in addition to application workloads VMmark3 also contains infrastructure operations. One of these is a Clone and Deploy operation which periodically creates a new VM from the VMmark template and performs some common administrative tasks. Because you are working in a static IP environment, the DeployVMinfo parameter is used to tell the benchmark which IP address you'd like to use. This should be a IP address that is within the same subnet as your other workload VMs but is not currently being used by any of the workload or client VMs.
For more info, take a look at the VMmark Users Guide, sections:
Virtual Machine Cloning and Deployment
Calculate the Number of Simultaneous Infrastructure Operations
