How can I test 50 threads and 60 threads ,for slave 1 and slave 2 respectively from jmeter non gui command?

Scenario : I have 2 slave machines configured , I want to send 50 users for slave 1, 60 users for slave 2 . I am using non GUI jmeter from command .

IP Address example :

Slave 1 : 1.0.0.1

Slave 2 : 2.0.0.2

Jmeter test plan configuration variables:

Number of threads :${__P(threads1,)}

Ramp-up period : ${__P(threads2,)}

Loop Count : ${__P(threads3,)}

I tried following command on jmeter start, but its not working as per expected:

jmeter -n -t POC1.jmx -R 1.0.0.1,2.0.0.2 -Gthreads1=50 -Gthreads2=1 -Gthreads3=1, -Gthreads1=60 -Gthreads2=1 -Gthreads3=1

Please help me if I am wrong in above command , please tell me how can I send 50 user threads , ramp up period 1 and loop count 1 for slave 1 and 60 user threads ramp up period 1 and loop count 1 for slave 2.

Solution

You won't be able to do it the above way as:

All remote slaves are executing the same test plan
You can pass global properties via -G command-line argument, so all the remote clients will be having the same properties set

The solution is to use different user.properties on different slaves, like:

Define amount of virtual users in your Test Plan using __P() function like:
```
${__P(threads,)}
```
On first slave add the next line to user.properties file (lives in JMeter's "bin" folder)
```
threads=50
```
On second slave add the next line to user.properties file
```
threads=60
```
Restart JMeter on slaves

You can also pass threads property value via -J command line argument while starting JMeter servers like:

On first slave

jmeter -Jthreads=50 -s -j jmeter-slave1.log .....

On second slave

jmeter -Jthreads=60 -s -j jmeter-slave2.log .....
