Vertica AWS POCT

[chenshaulian]

Hi all,

I have Vertica 10 nodes production environment on physical servers and I want to create DR environment at AWS.

I have created an environment in AWS (same as my physical environment) and started Copy Cluster from the physical environment to AWS environment and after it I want to run some POCT on AWS environment to see how it works compare to the physical environment.

physical servers (production environment): Vertica 7.1.1-10, 10 nodes, 40TB database size.
AWS environment: Vertica 7.2.1, r3.4xlarge 10 nodes cluster backed by EBS.

The tests that I thought to do:
- CPU processing speed test by Vcpuperf (https://my.vertica.com/docs/7.1.x/HTML/ ... puperf.htm)
- CopyCluster load time
- 10GB load time
- 5 queries select time and check there explain plan.

Does anyone have suggestions for more tests I can do?

Thanks
Chen

vioperf & vnetperf.

I'd make sure to run /opt/vertica/bin/vioperf on your data directory. Make sure you meet the minimum spec. of 20 MB/s per physical core. I'm always a bit leery of any non bare-metal solutions.
