performance - LoadRunner - Doubts on Requirements -


our team planning implement loadrunner performance testing.please clarify me on these requirement issues?

  1. in how many systems can install licensed loadrunner? or onto single system?
  2. for controller, virtul user generator , load generator, need seperate machines or can in single machine?

you in midst of change in loadrunner licensing universe. first historical view , next view now.

historical.
prior 8.0

  • you purchase controller license includes single license vugen , analysis.
  • you may install many load generators wish.
  • the controller node locked single host , must deregistered moved new host, involves mercury support
  • best practice says controller , load generators not same machine (this tool independent performance testing tools).
  • it highly use vugen , analysis on machine other controller.
  • additional copies of vugen , analysis available purchase in singles or groups of 5 , ten
  • virtual users tied controller license
  • monitors licensed individually

8.0 through 11.5x (dec 2013)

  • you purchase controller license includes promiscuous license multiple copies of vugen , analysis tied controller.
  • you may install many load generators wish.
  • the controller node locked single host , must deregistered moved new host, involves hp support
  • best practice says controller , load generators not same machine (this tool independent performance testing tools).
  • it highly use vugen , analysis on machine other controller.
  • once controller license expires must remove other components tied license, namely vugen , analysis
  • virtual users tied controller license
  • monitors included, including 500 point sitescope instance test use only

with 2014

  • controllers not charged components. neither vugen, analysis or load generators
  • (my understanding phone call yesterday have not seen full license agreement) may install many copies of each component wish.
  • virtual users chargeable component , these still tied single controller instance. may install 500 controllers, 1 may have virtual users attached it. no shared virtual user pools unless move performance center
  • monitor status unknown. ask var or hp rep details.

under no circumstances performance testing complete monolithic installation on 1 machine considered best practices (holds loadrunner, silkperformer, rationalperformancetester, jmeter, opensta, soasta, ...). load generation want load generation happen on hosts independent of controller , want @ least 3 load generators in play, 2 primary load , 1 control host (single virtual user of each type). 3 may minimum number of load generators, far maximum, may number in dozens depending upon needs.
