SPECvirt_sc2010 Technical Support

Version 1.01

Harness

Q. I've completed a run that passes all validation tests and would like to submit the result, but some (or all) of the testbed information in the disclosure report .html needs to be updated. How do I regenerate updated/corrected .sub and .html files for submission?

The recommended way to do this is to update all of the information in the Testbed.config file (located in the SPECvirt directory). Then, copy and insert the contents of Testbed.config into the .raw file at the line just above "END SPECvirt_sc2010". Finally, regenerate the .sub file with the usual syntax:

java -jar reporter.jar -r name-of-rawfile

Webserver/Infraserver

Q: How do I fix webserver validation errors?

This can occur if there are Besim processes (e.g. besim_fcgi.fcgi) on the infraserver VM that retain the data from a prior run. This is most likely to occur when a test is aborted and restarted but the httpd and associate Besim daemons aren't restarted on the infraserver VMs. To avoid this condition, delete the old besim_support.globals file and restart the httpd on the infraserver:
# ssh infraserver /etc/init.d/httpd stop # ssh infraserver rm -f /tmp/besim_support.globals # ssh infraserver /etc/init.d/httpd start

You also can configure the harness to run an initialization script that contains these commands. For example, the Control.config contains: PRIME_HOST_INIT_SCRIPT[1] = "webInit.sh" and the script webInit.sh would include the commands above.

Q. When running webserver, the test seems to be running and possibly gives one or two lines of polling data when the test ends. Examination of Clientmgr logs shows one or more SPECweb tests have large numbers of errors similar to:

A. Check the open file limit on the clients:

# ssh client2 "ulimit -n"

If you get a number such as 1024, then the ulimit hasn't been set. Check the /etc/sysctl.conf file to make sure that you have a line similar to:

fs.file-max = 500000

Then check /etc/bashrc to make sure the following is near the top:

# Overide open files limit of 1024 ulimit -n 100000 > /dev/null 2>&1

Then reboot the affected client(s) and rerun the test.

Appserver/Dbserver

Q. How do I build SPECjAppServer2004 using GlassFish?

Building SPECjAppServer2004 for any application server requires vendor-specific deployment descriptors. For GlassFish, build_glassfish.xml is the modified version of the generic build.xml to include GlassFish deployment descriptors from src/deploy/glassfish. To build SPECjAppServer.ear with GlassFish, update config/glassfish.env as per your environment and run ant from the SPECjAppServer2004 directory as follows:

ant -f build_glassfish.xml
