Hi All,

I have one question about ORION test.

Below is my test data from ORION tool. When the IOPS = 360, the
latency time is 11.09 ms. So the current disk system can support 360
IOPS, is it right? If the system have heavier load and IOPS>360, it
will cause wait.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11
IOPS 136 230 300 360 407
446 479 505 532 555 570
LAT 7.35 8.67 9.97 11.09
12.28 13.44 14.6 15.83 16.91
18.01 19.28

Thanks

I am afraid ORION doesn't work - it produces misleading results. We
tried it for AIX and Sun servers and found that results didn't match
tests done with Oracle.
