Could you be more specific what do you want to test? There are PAM tests in offline diagnostic packages (diags or sldiag depending on your Data ONTAP version).

I just wanted to test the impact of the PAM on our filer. But I get it now I am using SIO to generate intensive random reads to test the PAM activity

Thx!!

the best way to test PAM is to use it

Not being facetious. Run a real workload against it and either check perf advisor or from the CLI:

stats show -p flexscale-access

You could of course keep doing what you're doing and use SIO or IOmeter or IOzone etc...
