HCIbench is probably the easiest place to start in VMware. FIO, VDbench...

Hi Brian,

ok, it is good, 

so can you help me for how i find values for types of workloads:

--iodepth

--numjobs

--runtime

my problem is : how i find a list of parameters for types of workloads that  i use in FIO?

Thanks,

The Best Regards,

There's a good example in the link I provided. The needs are variable though, we don't all test for the same things. You'll have to do more research on that, we unfortunately can't answer that question for you.
