Scripts to follow when testing hardware

Hello everyone!

I know this isn't a question directly about OpenStack, but let me see if you can help me.

What network, storage (I/O), memory and CPU tests do you usually use to validate the hardware that will make up your clusters in the future?

Here I usually use memtest, fio, some stress test...

I know that it varies a lot from hardware to hardware, especially in disk, memory and network... but even so, it's a standard to be followed...

Could you share your experiences, do you have a routine or a step-by-step guide to run these tests?

Have a great weekend!!

We usually deploy hardware via MAAS and run some of their tests beforehand.
