asterisk users - Jan 2012 - Problems faced in load testing of asterisk

Hello, 



I am trying to run load on asterisk server(version 1.8.7.1) through SIPp tool
for the voicemail() application. But I am facing a lot of problems. I tried
running 1000 calls?from SIPp for 100 subscribers (10 messages for each
subscriber). I am using odbc storage for the messages.



Following warnings/errors are coming on the asterisk server: 



Jan 11 11:30:49] WARNING[22924] app.c: Failed to lock path
'/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/27/INBOX': File exists
[Jan 11 11:30:49] ERROR[22924] app_voicemail.c: Couldn't lock directory
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/27/INBOX.? Voicemail will be lost.



Sometimes I?have seen?that ?.lock file remains in the INBOX folder for a
particular subscriber. I wanted to know why this .lock file is not deleted. Is
this?a bug or I am?missing something in the configuration.





[ Jan 11 11:30:50] WARNING[22874] app_voicemail.c: Open of sound file
'/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/default/2/INBOX/msg0011.gsm' failed: No
such file or directory?



[Jan 11 11:30:50] WARNING[ 23109] app .c: No audio available on
SIP/172.16.129.13:9027-00000206??





[ Jan 11 11:30:17] ERROR[22122] res_rtp_asterisk.c: Oh dear... we couldn't
allocate a port (x=6460)6460 for RTP instance '0x2aaacd6454c8'. errno 98

I have given the rtp port range as 6000 to 8000 in rtp.conf. Is this not
sufficient for running 1000 calls.





The SIPp command which I am running ?is as follows: 

/sipp -m 10 -r 1 -rp 1000 -d 45 -mp 7000 -p 9000 -bg -max_socket 65536 -sf
uac_msg_deposit.xml -i 172.16.129.13 -s 1 172.16.129.14 --trace_err
usleep 80000 
./sipp -m 10 -r 1 -rp 1000 -d 45 -mp 7004 -p 9001 -bg -max_socket 65536 -sf
uac_msg_deposit.xml -i 172.16.129.13 -s 2 172.16.129.14 --trace_err
usleep 80000 
./sipp -m 10 -r 1 -rp 1000 -d 45 -mp 7008 -p 9002 -bg -max_socket 65536 -sf
uac_msg_deposit.xml -i 172.16.129.13 -s 3 172.16.129.14 --trace_err
usleep 80000 
./sipp -m 10 -r 1 -rp 1000 -d 45 -mp 7012 -p 9003 -bg -max_socket 65536 -sf
uac_msg_deposit.xml -i 172.16.129.13 -s 4 172.16.129.14 --trace_err
----- 

this way it continues for 100 subscribers. 





Please suggest. 





Thanks.

Only even ports will be used for RTP I think, odd ports are reserved for
RTCP, although I don't know how SIPp behaves in this line. 2000 ports
should be reduced to 1000 ports following my theory.
