Three CentOS 7.3.1611 (Core) virtual machines (VMs) were stood up to establish an iRODS provider Galera cluster testbed. Each VM is configured with a user account named galera which has rights to run Docker and not much else. Complete testbed information
A series of tests were applied to the nodes with differing requirements and complexity. Initially the nodes were tested in a known local environment for debugging purposes. From there, the standard iRODS test suite was applied to the whole testbed, one node at a time. Finally all nodes were subject to 30 parallel streams of iput and iget statements for 256 40 MB files concurrently while being configured to replicate varying degrees of latency using NetEm.
LAN - local machine: The three-node-test.sh run on single node using docker network
LAN - virtual machines: The run_tests.py script run on a single node at a time
Every installation of iRODS includes a python script that will run various tests located at /var/lib/irods/scripts/run_tests.py
