OK this is a pain in the bum many have suffered. In Linux you can see how long iozone takes to run this way:
time iozone -A
And the default benchmarks time to run, is a great way to compare storage. It hits the strengths and weaknesses of any system. But how to time it easy in Windows?
Create a bat file and run like this:
set startTime=%time%
iozone.exe -A
echo Start Time: %startTime%
echo Finish Time: %time%
That is all there is to it.
Some examples if iozone running on Isilon NAS systems below.
Example below running on a 5 node x400 Isilon cluster connected to UCS at 10g running from B200 M2 Blade:
Under 4 minutes.
Time = 3:37
iozone test complete.
Z:\iozone>echo Start Time: 16:15:45.94
Start Time: 16:15:45.94
Z:\iozone>echo Finish Time: 16:19:22.68
Finish Time: 16:19:22.68
Example below running on a 3 node x400 Isilon cluster connected to UCS at 10g running from B200 M2 Blade:
Under 5 minutes.
Time = 4:21
iozone test complete.
Z:\iozone>echo Start Time: 11:02:15.35
Start Time: 11:02:15.35
Z:\iozone>echo Finish Time: 11:06:36.74
Finish Time: 11:06:36.74
Example below running on an EMC VNX5300 Thin Provisioned 80G boot LUN:
C:\iozone>echo Start Time: 13:48:51.17
Start Time: 13:48:51.17
C:\iozone>echo Finish Time: 13:51:14.12
Finish Time: 13:51:14.12
Time = 2:23
C:\iozone>echo Start Time: 16:06:53.42
Start Time: 16:06:53.42
C:\iozone>echo Finish Time: 16:09:34.91
Finish Time: 16:09:34.91
Time = 2:41
Example below running on an EMC VNX5300 Thick Provisioned 80G boot LUN:
C:\iozone>echo Start Time: 15:46:14.99
Start Time: 15:46:14.99
C:\iozone>echo Finish Time: 15:48:10.78
Finish Time: 15:48:10.78
Time = 1:56
C:\iozone>echo Start Time: 16:02:25.32
Start Time: 16:02:25.32
C:\iozone>echo Finish Time: 16:04:21.94
Time = 1:56
Example below running on Xiotech ISE2
C:\iozone>echo Start Time: 16:08:47.10
Start Time: 16:08:47.10
C:\iozone>echo Finish Time: 16:10:27.89
Finish Time: 16:10:27.89
Time = 1:40
