I have 6 SCSI LUNs on one ESXi host and am trying to determine the perspective latency of having multiple large IO loads on small LUNs in contrast to two large LUNs with multiple VMs.
As such, I was trying to use IO Analyzer to generate multiple loads on a single LUN to determine the perspective latency. The problem I am running into is after I configure the network settings on the IO analyzer VM, I throw in the URL into firefox and get the Web UI with IO Meter Tests link at the top, rather than "Setup and Run" as listed in the guide.
Also, after adding the ESXi host, I select the host in the Choose how to run IOmeter tests section, but only one VM comes up in the next dropdown, "IOAnalyzer1.1 " rather than the name of the actual VM that I created. Can someone confirm whether this behavior is expected?
Secondly, is this a good tool to generate multiple loads on a single SCSI LUN or is this tool mainly meant for iSCSI LUNs in which multiple hosts share the same LUN.
