HiTest Notes for MS Internet Information Server Windows NT AlphaServer 800
4–3
Test Configuration
The test load was generated as follows:
• The average test duration was 40 hours.
• STM Webclient ran several processes, each performing accesses to web pages as often as
every 0.01 seconds.
• STM I/O Tool ran continuously throughout the test.
• Webstone ran up to several processes performing continuous accesses to web pages.
• Windows NT Backup was used to perform data backup during the test.
• SMS performed routine tasks during the test.
• The failure of a single drive that was a member of a RAIDset was tested, ensuring RAID
fault tolerance functionality.
Minimum Configuration
The minimum configuration includes two disks that were connected to one SCSI controller,
as shown in Table 4-1. One disk served as the Windows NT system and paging disk. The
other disk contained the Internet Server WWW data, file shares, and system log files.
_____________________________ Note____________________________
2.1 GB disk drives (RZ28M-SB) were used instead of RZ1CB disk drives during
testing.

Test Process and Results
During the test, the system served about 7.5 million web pages. Webstone client processes
read about 6.8 million pages. The STM Webclient tool read about 0.75 million pages.
