How do I setup blockbench for Quorum private chain analysis about blockbench HOT 5 CLOSED

The Quorum is based on Ethereum, so the usage of Quorum on BlockBench is very similar with the usage of Ethereum. We've create a temporary branch (quorum) for the early-release supporting Quorum. The documentations are at benchmark/quorum-XXX directory

There are two alternative consensus mechanisms in Quorum, one called QuorumChain(a voting method), the other is Raft-based consensus. For the two consensus mechanisms, you can refer to the bash script run-bench.sh in quorum-raft for Raft and quorum-vote for QuorumChain.

Thanks for the reply @bulldosers So I need to paste the branch contents on each of running nodes across AWS , Azure and start them separately or have to run them all instructions on one node independently ?

Sorry, I am not familiar with AWS,Azure. We run the script at only one NFS-mounted directory in cluster and use the run-bench.sh script to start all nodes separately.

I have 1 node on azure and 1 node on AWS, boot node and blockmaker is on Azure and voter is on AWS. Can you please let me know which files I need to edit? and also for running run-bench.sh I dont need to deploy the smart contracts on the either node right ?

If you want to use the script run-bench.sh, there are three setps that you may need to do.
First, you need to edit the env.sh to change the environment variable;
Second, you may need to edit the hosts and clients file to set it as your own node address(Maybe ip for AWS or Azure, I am not sure);
Third, the first server is blockmaker and others are votes by default and you can change it by editing the start-mining file.

If you have deployed your Quorum network manually, you can directly use the driver at kvstore for ycsb and smallbank for smallbank.
By the way, you can get more details about the driver from README.md

About deploying of the smart contracts, we have integrated the deploying procedure into our driver, thus you don't need to do it by yourself.

I hope my explanation can help you, there may be some differences between AWS and cluster.
