Hi Team,
I've started the VMmark run (with only WorkloadList) and the STAX job has been stuck at "AuctionLB: Restore" step for about 3 hours.
VMmark Initialization and Set-up steps worked fine and they were shown as "Pass" in the STAX console.
Attaching the STAX screen-shot here:
Also, attaching the archive of the complete Results output folder from the PrimeClient machine here.
Any help here is highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Krishna
On a seperate note, if I want to run only "Infrastructure Operations", Can I set the "Workload List" to empty value and start the run?
I wasn't sure about this myself, so I tried a run with no workloads and just infrastructure operations, and it failed when trying to produce a score. So no, you need to run 1 or more workloads for a valid score to be produced.
The run has been stuck in this step forever.
Can someone let me know if I can send any other logs/info for this issue?
Thanks,
Krishna
Hi Krishna,
Please run this command from the PrimeClient VM:
ssh client0 cat /Client0_restore.txt > /root/client0_restore_stuck.txt
Then attach the /root/client0_restore_stuck.txt to this thread.
Thanks,
David
Thanks dmorse for your response and Sorry for the delay in sending the log file.
Surprisingly, the VMmark run has been completed and it gave the Score file now. But I'm sure it took atleast 40 hours to get past the "Tile 0:AuctionLB:Restore for 9500,1500 Users" step.
I've got the Client0_restore.txt file and attaching it here. It would be very helpful for me to understand any reason on why it took so long for this step (or is it normal for this step?).
Thank you,
Krishna
Hi Krishna,
No, this is definitely not typical. I'd like to get some more information about your environment:
Thanks,
David
Thanks David for your response.
I've bring down the System-Under-Test set-up to run a different test, so could not get the previous /root/version.txt
I've started another run in the same environment and it looks like it has stuck in the same step for about 11 hours now.
Please let me know if I can I send the required logs now? or once the test run is completed.
Best,
Krishna
Hi Krishna,
OK, then yes please rerun this command from the prime client:
ssh AuctionLB0 cat /root/version.txt
Also, can you verify the filename of your .ova template? Is it vmmark3.1.1-template-031420.ova?
Thanks,
David
Hi David,
Please find the output of ssh AuctionLB0 cat /root/version.txt below:
053117
yum update run 102616
weathervane 1.0.13
VMmark3 05312017-001
The VMmark template name is : vmmark3-template-053117.ova
Thanks,
Krishna
Hi Krishna,
Okay, this is the root cause of this issue. You're using VMmark 3.0, which was released over 3 years ago.
Please download the latest version of VMmark, version 3.1.1, here:
https://www.vmware.com/go/download-vmmark
The latest/correct template to use is named vmmark3.1.1-template-031420.ova. You'll need to delete all the old VMs and recreate your environment.
Thanks,
David
Thanks a lot David for looking into this.
I'll provision the Clients and VMs with this new template from my next test run and update this thread. (the current test is about to complete, so I'm letting it to continue).
On a seperate note, if I want to run only "Infrastructure Operations", Can I set the "Workload List" to empty value and start the run?

Thanks & Regards

More information is in file "CleanData_W1I1.log". Please upload that file or just .tgz the entire run dir and upload it.
can you please guide me, where this file is located (CleanData_W1I1.log)
Thanks & Regards
Ajay
Per VMmark document:
VMmark Results Files
After a VMmark benchmark test run has completed, the VMmark harness automatically collects the results data from the client system (or systems) and places those results in the results directory on the prime client, then processes the results to score the test.
Look under /root/VMmark3 for results directories created after each run.
Have you tried restarting your clients and VM's for tile0 and then try a turbo run and see if it is fine. I will look further for where (probably on client) CleanData_W1I1.log file is located.
Yes, i restarted client and all the tile0 vm's . Still struck at same state
Thanks & Regards
Ajay
