PTS - local run without internet

[supicek63]

I would like tu run PTS locally on multiple systems which do not have internet connection. I installed tests (CacheBench, Gzip Compression, IOzone, netperf) on system with internet connection and then run "./phoronix-test-suite make-download-cache". Then I copied download cache from /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/download-cache to system without internet connection to same location. I tried to install the tests "./phoronix-test-suite install iozone" but all I got was "[PROBLEM] Invalid Argument: iozone". I tried to copy also test-profiles but it didn't make any difference.
Both systems are SuSe linux enterprise 12 SP3 and I am using PTS 8.2 under root account. Could you please help me figure out what could be the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

You also need to copy the /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/test-profiles/ folder too in order to copy over the cached test profile (benchmark) metadata, just not the download-cache directory.

Hi Michael, thanks for the answer. I tried to copy test-profiles folder too, however I am still getting same error.

[Michael]

Did you try copying the entire /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite folder?

[supicek63]

I tried to copy the whole folder again and it's working now, I have a feeling that previous copied files were somehow corrupted. Even if I delete installed tests, installation from cache works now.
Anyway thanks for your help.

Hello,

I have the same issue.
I installed PTS and performed a benchmark on a machine with Internet connection. Everything is OK. I execute the make download cache command.
then I copied the whole phoronix-test-suite dir (from var lib) to the offline machine and tried to run or install a benchmark but still complains about no Internet access...

Did you also run make-openbenchmarking-cache before copying over the entire dir?

I didn't.
So I did it, copied the whole directory to the offline machine but still have the errors:


# phoronix-test-suite install pts/openssl


No Internet Connectivity After Wait

What version of PTS are you using? And do you see stuff in /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/test-profiles?

[whitecat]

I'm running PTS 7.8.0 from the EPEL 7 repository.

Yes /var/lib/phoronix-test-suite/test-profiles is full of files in pts and system subdirs (not in local though).
