We usually try to load the systems with as many concurrent users as we can. The workload measures the throughput while keeping a check on response times. The loaded data has to at least match the scale you want to run. It can be bigger, though.

Runs at small scales are affected by the small number of samples. They may need to run with a larger steady state in order to pass (so there will be enough operations to have a meaningful sample size. Similarly, small loaded data may incur the irregularities of random number generators and applied to a limited number of instance.

Generally, runs at a scale of 200 concurrent users or more over a steady state of 10 minutes (600 secs) or more are considered having the critical mass for random number generators to give you predictable results. The larger the scale, the smaller the required steady state. But I won't keep the steady state less than 5 minutes to give you meaningful data.

Thanks for your help. I tried with load scale 200 and it passed. What are the criteria for choosing the correct load scale count(and concurrent users), and the time(ramp up, steady state,ramp down, Time between starts). All this time i was testing this on a VM and now i am planning to run this on server with more then 32GB RAM running CentOS.

Thanks again.

    The load scale (under DB server) is currently the bare minimum of
    25. I'd load for at least 100 to 200 concurrent users, even if you
    only drive with 25 concurrent users. You're already very close to
    passing, though.

        Thanks for moving the discussion to olio list.

        I have tried 25 and 50 scale and non of them worked for me. Does
        the ramp up/steady state/ramp down time also matters? I have
        attached the run.xml file from my last test. Please let me know
        if you need more info.

        Thanks

           you're loading the data and running this? Either of these can be
           contributing factors for such failed results. This is due to too
           small of a data set.

           I'd first try to load at a larger scale in any case.

           Yes, this is an Olio discussion. Project Olio is here:

               Whenever i run the performance benchmark i always get the
        Failed
               result. I dont see any error in any of the log file. The only
               fail item in the summary is under Miscellaneous
        Statistics. It
               says "Average images on Tag Search Results 6.15 >= 7
         FAILED".

               Why is it failing? Do you need to tweak some parameter to
        make
               it pass? I tried many values under Driver tab for
        RampUp,Steady
               State and Ramp Down but the result is always "fail".

               I am using CentOS 5.2, Faban 091008 and latest olio.
        Thanks for
               your help.

               P.S: Sorry, I dont know how to move this under olio(if it is
               olio issue), i dont see it anywhere in sunsource.net
        <http://sunsource.net>
               <http://sunsource.net> site.
