What is the purpose of control.parallel ? Testing on a single machine Normally you're going to run server/tests/netperf2, which will invoke the separate sections of the client tests on a pair of machines for you > 3.

To ensure that the server is started and ready before the client starts throwing queries at it, and stays up and running until the client has finished.

Take a look at how the server side test does it? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
