I dont have too many options with RHEL unless someone can give me some other ideas on benchmarking tools to run from cli.
The problem seems not to be the SAN as the reports I am generating from System Reporter shows little IOPs or bandwidth.
I need to be able to generate some consistent I/O to prove to the customer that the SAN is not the issue. We use IOmeter on Windows but don't have the luxury on RHEL since we dont have gui installed. On windows just on a simple test at 256k 100%write/read and 8 IO requests we pushed close to 40k IOPs and 500MB/s plus.
The application developers continue to point fingers at the SAN.
UGH!
