performance - LoadRunner - Doubts on Requirements -
our team planning implement loadrunner performance testing.please clarify me on these requirement issues?
- in how many systems can install licensed loadrunner? or onto single system?
- 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.
