Hi.
I'm new to configuring Storage Arrays, and have been bitten by our array, its very pedantic in the way that it's configured.
I would like to test a number of different configuration and I need a standard test that will give me comparable results. Is there an appliance with some standard test that can be quickly deployed? From a quick look VMmark looks like it's for more complexe bench marking, and is over kill for what I need.
Thanks
You can install IOmeter in a VM guest. No appliance that I am aware of.

A search of the communities will bring up a number of posts. There are some standardized configs that can be used for comparisons with other systems.
