Performance tool test for IOPS/latency

yb_benjamin — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:56:53 GMT

Hi,

We've just set up a new metrocluster AFF220 with 30K IOPS guarantee by NETAPP.

There is a just a few VMs that have migrated on this storage and we'd like to test IOPS and latency performance.

However, that VMs are not generating that much IOPS.

Is there any NETAPP tool to test IOPS and latency performance by generating random read/writes ad stuff like that ?

Thanks for your ideas.

I don't this a NetApp tool available for this. But most use the below ones

IO meter

How to test is described in this video

Test results can be formatted here http://vmktree.org/iometer/

Also, try Diskspd from Microsoft

Another vote for diskspd. and indeed - there is no NetApp tool for this task
