[Iometer-devel] Real Benchmarks using IOMETER

[Antonio J. R. N. <ant...@ya...>]

Hi All,
 
This is neto from Brazil.
 
How are you?
 
I'm learning about storage performance and I would like to create a best practices to use *correct*  IOMETER in a benchmark deal, so I need your help:
 
1) Do you have some gotchas and tips for use IOMETER in a benchmark deal for real applications?
 
2) What is the purpose of aligment? Use aligment or not?
 
3) How many workers in a benchmark? Examples of applications
 
4) How many outstanding IO in a benchmark? Examples of applications
 
5) Could you please send for me some example of applications that use aligment or not?
 
6) How does IOMETER work with no aligment and How does IOMETER work with aligment?
 
7) Why mis-aligned benchmarks in IOMeter are not really interesting for customers and results?
 
All the best my friends
