Fair ask :)
VxHS test server is a part of the libqnio GitHub repo. It can be downloaded
from https://github.com/VeritasHyperScale/libqnio.git

To run the test server with lots of debug messages -
make debug, make install (optional - just copies the library and test
server to a particular location)
./src/qnio_server -v -l /dev/stdout

For running the server in TLS mode, the following files are needed before
test server is started -
    CACERT                        "/var/lib/libvxhs/cacert.pem"
    Enable SSL mode by touching   "/var/lib/libvxhs/secure"
    SERVER_KEY                    "/var/lib/libvxhs/server.key"
    SERVER_CERT                   "/var/lib/libvxhs/server.cert"

Ashish
