OpenStack Virtual IP High Availability

test case id

OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC054: OpenStack Virtual IP High Availability

test purpose

This test case will verify the high availability for virtual ip in the environment. When master node of virtual ip is abnormally shutdown, connection to virtual ip and the services binded to the virtual IP it should be OK.

test method

This test case shutdowns the virtual IP master node with some fault injection tools, then checks whether virtual ips can be pinged and services binded to virtual ip are OK with some monitor tools.

attackers

In this test case, an attacker called “control-shutdown” is needed. This attacker includes two parameters: 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker’s scripts. It should be always set to “control-shutdown” in this test case. 2) host: which is the name of a control node being attacked.

In this case the host should be the virtual ip master node, that means the host ip is the virtual ip, for exapmle: -fault_type: “control-shutdown” -host: node1(the VIP Master node)

monitors

In this test case, two kinds of monitor are needed: 1. the “ip_status” monitor that pings a specific ip to check the connectivity of this ip, which needs two parameters: 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class and related scripts. It should be always set to “ip_status” for this monitor. 2) ip_address: The ip to be pinged. In this case, ip_address should be the virtual IP.

2. the “openstack-cmd” monitor constantly request a specific Openstack command, which needs two parameters: 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class and related scripts. It should be always set to “openstack-cmd” for this monitor. 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request.

e.g. monitor1: -monitor_type: “ip_status” -host: 192.168.0.2 monitor2: -monitor_type: “openstack-cmd” -command_name: “nova image-list”

metrics

In this test case, there are two metrics: 1) ping_outage_time: which-indicates the maximum outage time to ping the specified host. 2)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request.

configuration

This test case needs two configuration files: 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc054.yaml -Attackers: see above “attackers” discription -waiting_time: which is the time (seconds) from the process being killed to stoping monitors the monitors -Monitors: see above “monitors” discription -SLA: see above “metrics” discription

2)POD file: pod.yaml The POD configuration should record on pod.yaml first. the “host” item in this test case will use the node name in the pod.yaml.

test sequence

description and expected result

step 1

start monitors: each monitor will run with independently process

Result: The monitor info will be collected.

step 2

do attacker: connect the host through SSH, and then execute the shutdown script on the VIP master node.

Result: VIP master node will be shutdown

step 3

stop monitors after a period of time specified by “waiting_time”

Result: The monitor info will be aggregated.

step 4

verify the SLA

Result: The test case is passed or not.

post-action

It is the action when the test cases exist. It restarts the original VIP master node if it is not restarted.

test verdict

Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case execution problem.
