hammerdb is a performance test kit for various databases. For now it will be used in this operator for MS-SQL databases exclusively.
Given that you followed instructions to deploy operator, you can modify cr.yaml to your needs.
The hammerdb workload needs to be pointed at an existing MSSQL, MARIADB, POSTGRES database via the CR file.
An example CR might look like this

es_os_version: "centos8"
es_kind: "pod"The pin feature is true for node selector, pin_node is the node name
The resource feature is true for resources configurations: requests_cpu, requests_memory, limits_cpu, limits_memory
The db_type is the database type: mariadb, pg or mssql
The db_init feature determines wether the database has already been initialized false or needs to be initialized true. If the DB has been used previously to run benchmarks against it, it needs to be set to false.
The db_benchmark feature used to run the actual benchmark when set to true.
The db_server either holds the name or the IP address of the DB server,
The db_port the port on which the DB is accessible. If db_mssql_tcp is set to true the client will use a TCP connection, if it's set to false UDP will be used.
The db_user and db_pass need to be set identical to the settings on the DB server side.
The tpcc benchmark which we use can set up an arbitrary number of warehouses between which goods will be transferred in order to simulate a real-world scenario. The higher the number of warehouses is, the more complex and load-heavy the benchmark can get.
The db_warehouses is used to define this number.
The db_num_workers is used to controls the number of virtual users, acting upon the warehouses and the goods in them. This number needs to lesser or equal to the number of warehouses.
- db_warehouses >= db_num_workers: virtual users must be less than or equal to number of warehouses
With runtime, rampup and samples the time for a single run, the rampup time per run and the number of runs can be controlled.
The es_custom_field feature is true to enable distribute the following fields to Elastic Search: es_ocp_version, es_cnv_version, es_db_version, es_os_version, es_kind
There are several options to store database data on Pod, the default one is ephemeral:
HostPath: The data will be stored on a local disk where the OS is placed.
Local: The data will be stored on local disk on separate disk, separate disk from OS.
PVC: The data will be stored on Container Storage, it's required a Pre-installed Container Storage
MSSQL examples:
MSSQL ephemeral, MSSQL HostPath, MSSQL Local, MSSQL PVC
Postgres examples:
Postgres ephemeral, Postgres HostPath, Postgres Local, Postgres PVC
Mariadb examples:
Mariadb ephemeral, Mariadb HostPath, Mariadb Local, Mariadb PVC
The option runtime_class can be set to specify an optional runtime_class to the podSpec runtimeClassName. This is primarily intended for Kata containers.
Once done creating/editing the resource file, you can run it by:
# kubectl apply -f <path_to_cr_file> kind: vm
client_vm:
dedicatedcpuplacement: false
sockets: 1
cores: 2
threads: 1
image: kubevirt/fedora-cloud-container-disk-demo:latest
requests:
memory: 100Mi
limits:
memory: 16Gi # at least 16Gi for VM
network:
front_end: bridge # or masquerade
multiqueue:
enabled: false # if set to true, highly recommend to set selinux to permissive on the nodes where the vms would be scheduled
queues: 0 # must be given if enabled is set to true and ideally should be set to vcpus ideally so sockets*threads*cores, your image must've ethtool installed
extra_options:
- none
#- hostpassthrough
- ## OCS PVC
pvc: false # enable for OCS PVC
pvc_storageclass: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd
pvc_pvcaccessmode: ReadWriteMany
pvc_pvcvolumemode: Block
pvc_storagesize: 10Gi
## HostPath - Configuring SELinux on cluster workers
hostpath: false # enable for hostPath
hostpath_path: /var/tmp/disk.img
hostpath_storagesize: 10GiThe above is the additional changes required to run hammerdb in vms.
There several options to store database data on VM, the default one is ephemeral:
PVC: The data will be stored on Container Storage, it's required a Pre-installed Container Storage
The pvc feature is true for enabling container storage PVC on VM,
there several parameters that must be configured:
pvc_storageclass for pvc storage class (kubectl get sc)
pvc_pvcaccessmode can be one of ReadWriteOnce,ReadOnlyMany,ReadWriteMany Default: ReadWriteOnce
pvc_pvcvolumemode can be one of Filesystem,Block Default: Filesystem
pvc_storagesize the PVC storage size
HostPath: The data will be stored on the local disk where the OS is placed.
The hostpath feature is true for enabling HostPath on VM, there several parameters that must be configured:
hostpath_path The image path to hold the hostPath
hostpath_storagesize the HostPath storage size
examples: MSSQL, Postgres, Mariadb,
Currently, we only support images that can be used as containerDisk.
You can easily make your own container-disk-image as follows by downloading your qcow2 image of choice. You can then make changes to your qcow2 image as needed using virt-customize.
cat << END > Dockerfile
FROM scratch
ADD <yourqcow2image>.qcow2 /disk/
END
podman build -t <imageurl> .
podman push <imageurl>You can either access results by indexing them directly or by accessing the console.
The results are stored in /tmp/ directory
You can console into VM by running virtctl console vmi_name
