Instructions

Note: For this article, the first Avamar grid name is "avamar-moo.company.com" and the second Avamar grid is "avamar-cow.company.com"
  • "moo.company.com" is the "iperf server"
  • "cow.company.com" is the "iperf client"
 

1. Log in to the first Avamar grid (the "iperf server") as admin, and run the following command: 

iperf3 -s -i 1


2. Leave the command above running.

3. Log in to the second Avamar grid as (the "iperf client") admin, and run the following command:

iperf3 -c <avamar-source-iperf-server> A -i 1


4. Let the command run for 10 seconds, then end with a CTRL-C.  

 

Example output seen on "avamar-moo.company.com": (the "iperf server"):

Additional Information

When running the tests on Avamar, the connection attempt may time out if the firewall (avfirewall) service is running:

admin@ave-cow:~/>: iperf3 -c ave-moo -i 1
connect failed: Connection timed out
 

If this occurs, temporarily disable the firewall on both Avamar grids:

To stop the firewall service, run the following command as root:

systemctl stop avfirewall

To restart the firewall service, run the following command as root:

systemctl start avfirewall
