IG-XN-3: Xen Guests Limits Test

This test case verifies the guest host allocation is as expected based on the Xen Server memory (TBD) and number of cores (TBD) available for default (512 MB) and maximum memory guest size (1024 MB). Tests will be executed on the Utah InstaGENI rack. For overall status see the InstaGENI Xen Virtualization Test Status page.

Test Execution Details

This testing is executed with GENI Clearinghouse Credentials. Tests are executed incrementally and requests are submitted sequentially until limit is reached. Tests are scheduled in advance, as they have a major impact on the rack's resources.

Utah Rack nodes have 48GB of memory, of which 45GB is available for guests. The G7s have 12 cores, but with hyperthreading set to 24.

Default Guest Memory size 512 MB

Determine max number of guests allocated for a requests that use slivers with 2 VMs connected by a link. Using the following RSpec:

  <node client_id="xen1" component_manager_id="urn:publicid:IDN+utah.geniracks.net+authority+cm" exclusive="false">
    <sliver_type name="emulab-xen">
      <emulab:xen ram="512"/>
