[Disksim-users] Dixtrac and topology questions

[Ricardo Rey]

Hi!

I have a couple of questions:

1) How do I generate a ".diskspecs" file for some disk type? Do I have to
use DIXtrac? Or is there some other way? And, about this... does anyone
know if there is some repository of *.diskspecs somewhere?

2) I would like to test some high-availability topologies with redundancy;
something like this:

    topology disksim_iodriver ctlr0 [
        disksim_bus bus1 [
            disksim_disk disk0 []
            disksim_disk disk1 []
        ]
        disksim_bus bus2 [
            disksim_disk disk0 []
            disksim_disk disk1 []
        ]
    ]

Note that disk0 and disk0 are connected to both buses. Is it possible to
build such an architecture?

What I want to do is test some worst-case-scenarios, with some components
failing, and how would the system respond to that. That is why I need this
redundant topology.

Thanks in advance

- Rick
