ATTO Benchmark from within a VM (esxi connected to a lefthand SAN)

[Lanz]

Setup is a 4 node esxi 4.1 cluster attaching to a shared VMFS volume on our lefthand cluster (8 nodes, 4GB iscsi connection)

To test our new esxi cluster storage, I'm running ATTO from within a VM.

I'm seeing some crappy results, typically 35MB/s read and 80MB/s write.

Does anyone else have an esxi/lefthand combo?

Thanks

Hi.

Yes, I have. Its ESXi v4x on two DL385 G5's? with 8x146gb 15k SAS in each server.
This is the VM based lefthand mind, not the hardware appliance...

Ill give ATTO a whirl for you.

Cool thanks.

I was thinking about playing with the VM version, is it free?
