UNC Chapel Hill libraries has allocated 8 VMs for testing Fedora cluster configurations.
| Parameter | Possible values | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Clustered? | Yes | Test - Repository Profile: Clustered with testing as 4 and 8 node cluster |
| Processing hardware | The most important value here is probably number of cores (per node, if applicable). This is assumed not to vary amongst nodes in a cluster. | |
| Memory | This is the Java heap configuration, specified as the JVM flags to use. This is assumed not to vary amongst nodes in a cluster. | |
| Persistence I/O | Throughput | Is a certain level of throughput to disk an important part of the test? |
| Network I/O | This is particularly important for clustered operation. |
