2.16.3.1.8. Yardstick Test Case Description TC050

OpenStack Controller Node Network High Availability
test case id OPNFV_YARDSTICK_TC050: OpenStack Controller Node Network High Availability
test purpose This test case will verify the high availability of control node. When one of the controller failed to connect the network, which breaks down the Openstack services on this node. These Openstack service should able to be accessed by other controller nodes, and the services on failed controller node should be isolated.
test method This test case turns off the network interfaces of a specified control node, then checks whether all services provided by the control node are OK with some monitor tools.
attackers

In this test case, an attacker called “close-interface” is needed. This attacker includes three parameters: 1) fault_type: which is used for finding the attacker’s scripts. It should be always set to “close-interface” in this test case. 2) host: which is the name of a control node being attacked. 3) interface: the network interface to be turned off.

The interface to be closed by the attacker can be set by the variable of “{{ interface_name }}”:

attackers:
  -
    fault_type: "general-attacker"
    host: {{ attack_host }}
    key: "close-br-public"
    attack_key: "close-interface"
    action_parameter:
      interface: {{ interface_name }}
    rollback_parameter:
      interface: {{ interface_name }}
monitors

In this test case, the monitor named “openstack-cmd” is needed. The monitor needs needs two parameters: 1) monitor_type: which is used for finding the monitor class and related scritps. It should be always set to “openstack-cmd” for this monitor. 2) command_name: which is the command name used for request

There are four instance of the “openstack-cmd” monitor:

monitor1:
    - monitor_type: "openstack-cmd"
    - command_name: "nova image-list"
monitor2:
    - monitor_type: "openstack-cmd"
    - command_name: "neutron router-list"
monitor3:
    - monitor_type: "openstack-cmd"
    - command_name: "heat stack-list"
monitor4:
    - monitor_type: "openstack-cmd"
    - command_name: "cinder list"
metrics In this test case, there is one metric: 1)service_outage_time: which indicates the maximum outage time (seconds) of the specified Openstack command request.
test tool Developed by the project. Please see folder: “yardstick/benchmark/scenarios/availability/ha_tools”

configuration

This test case needs two configuration files: 1) test case file: opnfv_yardstick_tc050.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 turnoff network interface script with param value specified by “{{ interface_name }}”.

Result: The specified network interface will be down.

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 turns up the network interface of the control node if it is not turned up.
test verdict Fails only if SLA is not passed, or if there is a test case execution problem.
