1. Installing sysbench to Ubuntu is never been easy as issuing the apt-get command. You can also download the source from sourceforge.
In ubuntu, execute below.
sudo apt-get install sysbench
2. Installing to enterprise linux like Oracle Linux/ Red Hat Linux. Download the rpm file from rpmfind.net or any sites providing rpm downloads. You can also check this source.
3. Once downloaded try to install it if it will not find the dependencies file.
rpm -ivh sysbench-04.12-5.el6.x86_64.rpm
In this example, i used a 64-bit machine with Oracle Linux 6.0 installed. There are required dependencies before sysbench will be installed.
1. It will require that the machine has a GCC Compiler. To install it,
yum install gcc
Yum will not work to unregistered linux, so to get this done you need to create a local repository.
2. Other dependencies
libcrypto.so.10; libssl.so.10 (openssl-1.0.0-4.el6.x86_64.rpm)
libgssapi_krb5.so.2 (krb5-libs-1.8.2-3.el6..x86_64.rpm)
libldap_r-2.4.so.2 (openldap-2.4.19-15.el6..x86_64.rpm)
libpq.so.5 (postgresql-libs-8.4.4-2.el6.x86_64.rpm)
libc.so.6; libcrypt.so.1; libm.so.6; libpthread.so.0 (glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64.rpm)
libfreebl3.so (nss-softokn-freebl-3.12.7-1.1.el6..x86_64.rpm)
All these dependencies are available in your Linux DVD/ISO Installers.
Sysbench Test Modes
1. Create 'sbtest' database first
2. Prepare the database
sysbench --db-driver=mysql --test=oltp –mysql-table-engine=innodb --oltp-table-size=1000000 --mysql-socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=yourpassword prepare
3. OLTP Test
OLTP Read Only
sysbench --db-driver=mysql --num-threads=16 --max-requests=100000 --test=oltp --oltp-table-size=1000000 –mysql-socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --oltp-read-only --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=yourpassword run
OLTP Read+Write
sysbench --db-driver=mysql --num-threads=16 --max-requests=100000 --test=oltp --oltp-table-size=1000000 –mysql-socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --oltp-test-mode=complex --mysql-user=root --mysql-password=admin run
4. CPU Test
sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
5. Thread Test - This test mode was written to benchmark scheduler performance.
sysbench --num-threads=64 --test=threads --thread-yields=100 --thread-locks=2 run
