Test Beds
A Test Bed is a test environment in which a Workload Test runs. You can separate the test definition and environment by using a Test Bed. This makes it possible to easily and flexibly run a Workload Test on different test environments, by simply selecting a different Test Bed when you run a Workload Test.
At a high level, a Test Bed defines the following:
One or more Workload Generator client Test Ports
One or more client and/or initiator addresses
One or more Services, often the System Under Test, where each Service is defined by:
A storage protocol
A server IP address or an FC Target WWPN
Additional mandatory information for the selected storage protocol such as Shares for SMB or AWS Region for Amazon S3
One or more Links that connect a Workload Generator client Test Port to a Service
