The Converged Traffic test runs the Disk Stress test against the storage array attached to the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapter while simultaneously running NTttcp to stress network traffic through the same FCoE adapter. For additional NTttcp details, consult the NTttcp whitepaper available from Windows Hardware Developer Central (WHDC). For Disk Stress details, please see Disk Stress.

Running Boot Test

To schedule the Converged Traffic test in Driver Test Manager (DTM), you must first select a secondary machine to be the receiver of network I/O. You must then right-click the job and click Edit Parameters to configure the ReceiverIPAddress. The ReceiverIPAddress should correspond to an FCoE network port on the secondary machine. It should also be reachable from the primary test machine via a network port on the same FCoE adapter that has a storage array attached.
