Scalability and performance test results of OpenManage Enterprise 3.0 (tested on an MX7000 chassis)
24 Benchmark the Performance, Reliability, and Scalability of Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise 3.0 in your data
center environment
Test setup and results of the Longevity feature in OpenManage
Enterprise 3.0 (tested on a single MX7000 chassis)
 IPv4 and IPv6 were enabled in OpenManage Enterprise 3.0
 Discovery and inventory of supported number of devices were distributed in two weeks. Half the devices
were discovered in the first week and second half in the second week. The OpenManage Enterprise 3.0
devices were discovered by using IPv6 addresses.
 All the alert actions, including remote Shell scripts, were created and events were generated in the test
environment such that OpenManage Enterprise 3.0 would receive events at regular intervals on a daily-
basis
 The firmware update operation on 50 servers was performed in first- and another 50 servers in the
second week.
 Various RACADM tasks were run on different servers on a weekly-basis.
 The IP address of a few of the servers were changed and these servers were rediscovered in the second
week.
 Approximately 1,000 servers were discovered by using AD credentials in the second week.
 All the scheduled jobs were allowed to run at their default time interval.
 Around 200 static and dynamic groups were created based on different criteria for different servers.
 The GUI load time was captured for different load parameters on the same appliance every fourth day.
5.4.1 Test results of the Longevity feature in OpenManage Enterprise 3.0 (tested on
a single MX7000 chassis)
 The time taken for performing scheduled discovery, inventory, and status poll remained approximately
constant for a period of 15 days for the supported number of devices
 An uninterrupted service was observed while performing the Longevity test
 The time taken to open the GUI and access different pages increases slowly as more data is loaded in
the appliance. The test data was captured after every fourth day. To reduce the time taken in opening the
GUI, restart the appliance VM.
 The time taken to receive alerts, process alert actions, and run tasks stayed constant for the duration of
test.
