From: Benedict Reuschling The Netperf cluster consists of several systems interconnected using a
management network, as well as individual back-to-back gigabit ethernet
- links for a test network. The following systems are available as
- testing resources on a check-out basis: zoo.FreeBSD.org is the front-end build and management
- system. This system was donated by Sentex Communications. elephant is a dual-PIII 800MHz system with ATA disk
- subsystem. orangutan is a dual-Xeon 2GHz system equipped with an
- Adaptec SCSI RAID array. This system was donated by IronPort
- Systems. tiger-1, tiger-2, and tiger-3 are a set of
- interconnected, matching dual-Xeon 3GHz systems with ATA disk
- subsystems. Each has four if_em network interfaces, and these are
- interconnected so that various topologies can be created.
- These systems were donated by FreeBSD Systems and the FreeBSD
- Foundation. cheetah is a dual core Opteron 270 system with two
- 2GHz CPUs each with two cores using a Tyan K8S Pro (S2882)
- motherboard. The machine identifies as a quad processor machine
- in dmesg. The system has SATA disk, 2GB of RAM, 1GB for each
- processor, and 5 ethernet ports. fxp0 is the management port
- and em0, em1, bge0 and bge1 are gigE interfaces which will
- eventually connect cheetah to elephant and orangutan. This system
- was donated by George Neville-Neil. hippo is a quad-processor Pentium III 500MHz system
- with 50GB RAID array, donated by Sentex Communications. camel is a dual core Pentium D 3.0Ghz SMP system
- with four SATA disks and two hardware crypto devices, donated by
- Sentex Communications. interlope is a Celeron 2.5GHz system with two SATA
- disks running SUN Solaris 10, donated by
- Sentex Communications. apc2, apc3, and apc4 are the remote power
- consoles for the test network. These systems were donated by
- Sentex Communications. leopard1, leopard2, and leopard3 are
- dual-core Intel systems hooked up to the 10gbps test cluster,
- and use Chelsio and Myricom 10gbps cards. These systems were
- donated by iXsystems. hydra1 and hydra2 are 8-core Intel systems
- hooked up to the 10gbps test cluster. These systems were donated
- by Google and the FreeBSD Foundation. The current serial port and network configuration of test systems, as
- well as password information, can be found in /etc/motd on zoo. We
- are currently interested in adding amd64 and em64t hardware to the
- cluster.

Pointers and documentation on Netperf Cluster procedures can be found on the Test Cluster One Pointers page on the FreeBSD wiki.
- - -A few hopefully up-to-date configuration notes that may be relevant - to users of the netperf cluster:
- -20070727 - The 10gbps testbed is now being configured, - thanks to donations from iXsystems, Chelsio, Myricom, Intel, Google, - Cisco, and the FreeBSD Foundation.
20061211 - The Netperf - Cluster Reservations page is now online on the wiki. Also, a - Netperf - Cluster Pointers wiki page has been set up documenting procedures - for the Netperf cluster.
20061205 - zoo.FreeBSD.org has been updated to - the most recent version of 6-STABLE.
20050624 - cheetah is now online!
20050204 - orangutan is now configured to use - PXEboot, thanks to help from Sentex.
20050203 - system upgrades to tiger-1, - tiger-2, and tiger-3 have been completed -- the latest - versions of 4.x (ar0s1) and 6.x (ar0s2) are now installed.
20050203 - zoo.FreeBSD.org has been updated to - the most recent version of 5-STABLE.
