Tests
1. Network IO
We can use the iperf tool to measure the network bandwidth.
To measure the network bandwidth, we need to run the following command on the server, bohr:
iperf -s -p 5200
Then, run the following command on the client, desktop:
iperf -c 192.168.100.32 -p 5200 --hide-ips
While using ethernet cable connected to the router:
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to (**hidden**), TCP port 5200
TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 1] local *.*.*.79 port 55392 connected with *.*.*.85 port 5200
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 1] 0.0000-10.0420 sec 1.03 GBytes 882 Mbits/sec
The above output shows that the network bandwidth between my PC and the home server inside the LAN is 882 Mbits/sec.
To run the test on the internet, we need to run the following command on the client:
iperf -c ping.online.net -p 5200 --hide-ips
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to (**hidden**), TCP port 5200
TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[ 1] local *.*.*.14 port 50456 connected with *.*.*.21 port 5200
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 1] 0.0000-9.6136 sec 35.6 MBytes 31.1 Mbits/sec
The above output shows that the network bandwidth between my PC and the server on the internet is 19.6 Mbits/sec.
2. CPU
We can use the lscpu tool to get the CPU model.

3. Memory
We can use the lsmem tool to get the memory model.
lsmem

Memory block size: 2G
Total online memory: 66G
Total offline memory: 0B
4. Disk
NVMe SSD is used to install the operating system, proxmox and hold backups for the VMS locally. HDD is used to hold the virtual machines. Currently, I have not configured any RAID level for the HDD.
To test the disk performance, we can use the dd tool to write and read data from the disk.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test bs=64k count=64k conv=fdatasync
