Question

How do I determine the disk I/O speed of a node in the Junos Space fabric?

Answer

You can determine the disk I/O speed of a node in the Junos Space fabric by logging in to the node as an admin user and executing the following command:

 

dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=8k count=500000

where test is the name of the file to which the command output is copied.

 

The following is the command output:

500000+0 records in
500000+0 records out
4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 15.944 seconds, 257 MB/s

where 257 MB/s indicates the I/O speed of the disk.

 

We recommend that you delete the test file after determining the I/O speed.

 

Note: The minimum disk I/O speed recommended for Junos Space Virtual Appliance is 200 Mbps.
