Specifying the VPG to Test and Scheduling the Test
Zerto has included a number of test jobs to use as templates for your testing requirements:
Failover test demovpg: A fully automated test that checks virtual machines in a VPG that are being failover tested for the existence of VMTools. Customize this job by changing the name of the VPG from demovpg.
Failover test with script: Enables running a script inside the VPG virtual machines after they have been powered on and VMTools is running during a failover test, to verify the virtual machines.
Failover test without vmtools: Enables running a script inside the VPG virtual machines after they have been powered on but the virtual machine does not have VMTools running, to verify the virtual machines. Note that the script cannot run inside the virtual machines without VMTools.
To set up a failover test schedule for a VPG:
|
1.
|
In the Jenkins console dashboard, choose New Item. |
|
2.
|
Specify a name for the new item and the name of the job to be copied in the Copy from field. |
|
4.
|
Scroll down to Build and change the name of the VPG from demovpg to the actual VPG name. |
|
5.
|
Add or delete build steps as appropriate. |
|
6.
|
Set the schedule for the test by scrolling up to Build Triggers and specifying the schedule. For example, to specify that the test is run periodically, check Build periodically, and use a variation of cron syntax to specify the date for each run. |
|
Note:
|
Use the help provided by Jenkins for the exact syntax. The help is accessed by clicking the help symbol to the right of the field. |
