| All,
I am looking for a way to replicate i/o to a disk array that simulates a
current symmetrix dmx in our environment.
The aim of this is to enable me to take a look at the way that SRDF/A would
behave if I gave it a "real" workload, of differing i/o read and write sizes
(spread accross 2k, 4k, 8k, 16k and different application profiles also
Has anyone got a test plan / tool set that they use for this type of
investifation?
The end hame is to have async replication between a production and DR site
of around 500km.
Many thanks in advance,
Jo.

| Try IOmeter
an the attached conf file
test with and without SRDF/A option enabled
IOmeter is at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/iometer/
if you plan to test only the link, you can make a ramdisk on the target
site.
iometer.icf
put this in an file:

| Many thanks for this Voni - problem is that this can only be run on a single
machine at a single time - I am really looking to simulate multi-node
interaction with the symmetrix, ie 50 odd computers submitting i/o to
varying FA's at the same time.
Any thoughts around this, or am I purely looking at setting up a whole heap
of machines to do this?
Many thanks,
Jo

| Hi jOwLeY
Please read the manual:
http://www.iometer.org/
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs....er.pdf?rev=HEAD
You can have multiple Managers on multiple Host across multiple Platforms at
the same time or step by step
Only the GUI is Windows based.
