[Iometer-user] Limit IOpS

[Sascha E. <fe...@do...>]

Hello,

I would like to measure the average and max response time of a storage 
system (SAN with SSDs) with different load. Therefore I want iometer to 
generate (about) 5000 IOPS (later about 10000, 20000, up to some hundred 
thousands). Is this possible using iometer? At the moment I do not see a 
way to solve this. Does anybody know any other tool solving this issue?

If IOMeter does not allow to do so, I would like to play a little bit 
with the code. Therefore I want to implement a sleep after each IO. 
Searching the code I found the TargetDisk implementing the Read and 
Write and the class Grunt, which is the IO worker. I am very unsure 
where I should place the sleep. I am searching something like a look 
where the single Requests are created. Can someone give an idea where to 
find it?
