The DICE Fault Injection tool is a Java based tool desgined to allow the generation of faults within Virtual Machines and a FCO Cloud Provider.
This tool provides a simple, yet effective way to generate faults and test the reducnace and reilbality of applications, Virtual machines across cloud platforms. To access the VM level and issue commands the DICE tools use JSCH (http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/) to SSH to the Virtual Machines. When using any argument that requires VM password or SSHKeypath use "-no" for argument not used. Example command: --stressmem 2 512m [email protected] -no c://SSHKEYS/VMkey.key
To use the benefits of the tool are, the tool will only install the required tools for fault generation on the VMs when required. Thus reducing overall dependencies. A modular design which allows the addition of tools/faults as the user requires.
The following figure illustrates the DICE FTI:
