How to prepare initiator virtual machines for iSCSI target testing
------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Install operating systems.

  - FreeBSD: Use default settings for everything.  Don't install
    ports from the system installer, use "portsnap fetch extract"
    after installation instead.

  - Fedora: Change the environment to "Minimal install".

  - Solaris: Use defaults.

2. Install required software.

  - FreeBSD: install from ports, with 'make install BATCH=1':
  	benchmarks/bonnie++
  	benchmarks/iozone
  	benchmarks/postmark
	databases/postgresql92-server
	databases/postgresql92-contrib

 - Fedora:
 	yum install btrfs-progs bonnie++ postgresql-server postgresql-contrib iscsi-initiator-utils
	chkconfig iscsid on
	chkconfig iscsi on

	After that, install iozone and postmark from source; they are not
	provided by Fedora; download sites:

	http://www.iozone.org/src/current/iozone3_397.tar
	http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/debian/pool/main/p/postmark/postmark_1.53.orig.tar.gz

	To build iozone, use "make linux".  Copy the 'postmark' and 'iozone' binaries
	to /usr/local/bin/.

 - Solaris: 
	Install gcc:

	pkg install gcc-45
	pkg install system/header

	After that, install bonnie++, iozone, and postmark from source; download sites:

	http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/experimental/bonnie++-1.97.tgz
	http://www.iozone.org/src/current/iozone3_397.tar
	http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/debian/pool/main/p/postmark/postmark_1.53.orig.tar.gz

	To build iozone, use "make Solaris10gcc".  Copy the 'bonnie++', 'postmark', and 'iozone'
	binaries to /usr/bin/.

	Fetch the binary PostgreSQL distribution from the link below and untar to /usr/postgres/:

	http://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v9.2.3/solaris/solaris11/i386/postgresql-9.2.3-S11.i386-32.tar.bz2

3. Run the test script.

	./iscsi-test.sh
