Hyper-V Configuration NotesProcessorCPU ratio must be 1:1Do not use oversubscription of processor cores
MemoryDo not use Dynamic memory for servers running Lync
NetworkDedicate a physical adapter to Lync ServerUse Synthetic Adapters
DiskDedicated disk arrays for virtual machinesUse fixed virtual disks
Stress ToolingUser Provisioning Tool
• Create users and groups
• Enable users for Lync• Generate contact lists• Create test location
info.
Stress ToolingUser Provisioning Tool
Changing “Average Contacts per User” will increase subscriptions per user and increase processor utilization on the Lync Frontends.
Stress ToolingLync Load Configuration Tool
• Specify Stress Agents• Service discovery• Enable Modalities to
test• Set load variables such
as number and frequency of PSTN calls
Stress ToolingLync Load Configuration Tool
Be mindful of the features you enabled and how you configure them. For instance the Reach client can increase processor utilization on the Frontends.

Testing
Testing MethodologyVerify your environment is functionalRun tests for 24 hoursRun the tests twiceUse control clients
Running TestsLync Load Configuration Tool
• Once desired configuration determined Generate files
• Directory created for each stress agent
• Each directory should be copied the corresponding agent
Running TestsLync Performance and stress tool
• Runs all the tool generated tests
• Runs a specific test such as instant messaging
