Setup

Make sure user running the tests can run commands using 'sudo' without the need for a password.
Make sure user running the tests can run commands remotely using 'ssh' without the need for a password. This is only needed for tests which require multiple clients.
Create the mount point specified by the --mtpoint (default: /mnt/t) option on all the clients:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/t

$ sudo chmod 777 /mnt/t

Examples

nfstest_pnfs

The only required option is --server

$ nfstest_pnfs --server 192.168.0.11

nfstest_cache

Required options are --server and --client

$ nfstest_cache --server 192.168.0.11 --client 192.168.0.20

Testing with different values of --acmin and --acmax (this takes a long time)

$ nfstest_cache --server 192.168.0.11 --client 192.168.0.20 --acmin 10,20 --acmax 20,30,60,80

nfstest_delegation

The only required option is --server but only the basic delegation tests will

be run. In order to run the recall tests the --client option must be used

$ nfstest_delegation --server 192.168.0.11 --client 192.168.0.20

nfstest_dio

The only required option is --server

$ nfstest_dio --server 192.168.0.11
