  • Ho do you test Write I/Os

  • Great video! Please keep them coming. I'm new to I/O testing and need to test what my servers are currently consuming. I will be virtualizing all of them and want to estimate what I/O I need for my central SAN storage. How would I do that? Probably getting an Equallogic or Compellent SAN from Dell. Thanks

  • @yiggie First thing first... You need to baseline your current IO configuration. I would create a few scenarios in Iometer to mirror activity on the server. Because a file server is different than an email server is different than a database server. For your purposes graphing IO activity over a typical work week may be more appropriate for gauging overall IO requirements. An easy place to start would be using Windows Perfmeter to log "Physical Disk" activity for a period of time.
