Let me introduce myself, I just added a 3PAR 8200 to an existing VMware vSphere infrastructure.
I need to measure 3PAR performance compared to other existing storage.
So, I created a VM and installed Iometer.
I moved the VM on a datastore hosted by the 3PAR and made some tests with Iometer.
Then I moved the VM to another datastore hosted by a different storage and performed the same tests.
Let me ask expert people:
- Am I using the right tool to compare performance?
- How should I confngure Iometer to get the more meaningful results?
- Is there any sample configuration file I can start from?
- Should I do anything different, given that either the infrastructure and the 3PAR host production VMs and I cannot create problems?
