HP Cluster Test Software manual Running tests in a batch

Running tests in a batch

The Run All button runs a selection of tests serially. Choose the tests for the batch from the Run All dialog box.

Individual tests can be selected by checking or un-checking the boxes.

The order test are run in may be changed by editing the Run Order field. This number expresses the ascending order in which tests will be run. To change the order, edit this number to a lower or higher value. Duplicate numbers are allowed. For example, if you select only the tests CrissCross, Test4, and Pallas, and change the CrissCross Run Order to 3, the run order may be Test4, CrissCross, and Pallas, or it may be Test4, Pallas, and CrissCross.

Selected tests are run serially in the specified order in a loop for an iteration, a duration, or continuously. Based on the selected Run Options, the test run will loop:

•iteration – for the number of times specified in this field. The default is 1 iteration.

•duration – for the duration in hours and minutes starting when the dialog box OK button is clicked. The test run stops when the time is expired. Specify the duration in hours and minutes using the form HH:MM in 24-hour-clock format. Days can be expressed in 24 hour units. For example, 3 days is 72 hours.

•continuous – continuously until the Stop button is clicked in the main window.

The dialog box lists the output file names for all the tests. Each selected test will run and a cluster script will be saved in the current directory. When one of the tests is running, the Run All button is disabled.

The ib_send_bw test is disabled if InfiniBand is not selected.
