Testing tool NFS
Hi
I have a Isilon and a VNX Unified machine in my environment. I would like to startsome small tests in our NAS infrastructure and check how the different features of Isilon and VNX Unified impact the performance. The problem is that I don't have a clue what tool could I use for NFS testing. For block storage I have been using IOmeter but for NFS I need something else. I am really new into this topic so any guidance will help me a lot.
Thanks in advance!

WOuldn’t the same tool work for NFS as well? IOMeter needs a target, which can be either a local disk, a SAN connected disk or a share.

Yes, ok. But I was more thinking about testing specific NFS features such as: what is the performance when 100 clients are opening the file at the same time, or things like that.

We have used iozone and dbench for benchmarking NFS performance.
