I know we've danced around the edges of this enough, but I can't find any references on getting a hard number out of storage testing on ESX 3.
I'm familiar with iometer as a load generator. I understand the metrics can't really be trusted on vms due to clock drift. I plan to use iometer on multiple vms to generate load to test local, iscsi, fc.
How do I get the throughput and iops for the adapter? I'd like to know read & write bytes per second and io per second for each storage area.
I'd prefer not to use anything thru VC as I don't really trust the perf charts. I'd rather log it to a text file and deal with it in excel.
Umm. Thunk. Thunk. This thing on.
Check.
Check.
Check one, check one.
Sibilance. Sibilance.
No really. Anyone even have an esxtop parser working on 3? I can't get the parse_esxtop.vbs off of vmguru to work. Index out of bounds error, line 213.
Used esxtop & excel 2007 to work thru this.
Can you explain want you have done in details ?
