Qos Adaptive policy test

Hello all,

 

We are using traditional QoS policy groups, and I would like to find out if Adaptive QoS is a better fit for our environment, since our clients are currently getting the same performance regardless of their service tier.

 

That being said, I need some guidance on how to test this and/or generate IOPS.

 

I ran a test using the "dd" command to generate I/O on the volume, but it looks like the workload didn't stress the system enough for the adaptive QoS policy to really kick in.

 

I've researched the 'dd' command, and it seems like it mostly performs large sequential writes and it doesn't generate the kind of random, high-frequency I/O that would properly exercise the QoS policy. I don't have much experience with these type of tests.


Any ideas? I would really appreciate anyone's help!

 

Thank you,

Joel.
