+ name: software-raid0
+ format: "Manual Test Definition 1.0"
+ description: "Use Linux utility mdadm to create and delete software RAID0.
+ RAID0 consists of striping, without mirroring or parity."
+ maintainer:
+ - chase.qi@linaro.org
+ os:
+ - debian
+ - ubuntu
+ - centos
+ - fedora
+ scope:
+ - functional
+ devices:
+ - d02
+ - d03
+ - d05
+ - overdrive
+ - moonshot
+ - thunderX
+ environment:
+ - manual-test
+
+run:
+ steps:
+ - Install OS on the SUT(system under test) and make sure it boots.
+ - Power off the SUT and install two extra hard drives(use sd(b|c)
+ here). The two hard drives shoud have the same mode, at least the
+ same capacity.
+ - Boot to OS and make sure mdadm utility installed.
+ - Create 'Linux RAID auto' partition on each of the two hard drives
+ by running the following steps.
+ - 1) "fdisk /dev/sdx"
+ - 2) Delete all existing partitions with fdisk command "d"
+ - 3) Create Linux raid auto partition with fdisk commands
+ "n -> p -> 1 -> enter -> enter -> t -> fd -> w"
+ - Run the folliwng steps to test RAID0.
+ - 1) "mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l raid0 -n 2 /dev/sd[b-c]1"
+ - 2) 'cat /proc/mdstat' to see if md0 created and running."
+ - 3) "mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0"
+ - 4) Run dd performance test on md0
+ "automated/linux/dd-wr-speed.sh -p /dev/md0 -t ext4"
+ - 5) Inspect the above test result. Compare with test result on single
+ disk, you should see performance boost.
+ - Remove the md0 by running the following steps.
+ - 1) "umount /dev/md0"
+ - 2) "mdadm --stop /dev/md0"
+ - 3) "mdadm --remove /dev/md0"
+ - 4) "mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1"
+
+ expected:
+ - RAID0 array creating and deleting are successful.
+ - Read/write performance on RAID0 array is faster then single disk.
