A Appendix – Vdbench script configuration
A.1 Vdbench script used for block client:
Note: The script was customized for each client to access a unique volume.
*******************************************************************
*
* 100% random, 70% read block I/O test.
*
hd=default,user=root,shell=vdbench
hd=b1
sd=default,size=99g,threads=8
sd=sd1,host=b1,lun=/dev/eql/b1,openflags=o_direct

**********************************************************************
A.2 Vdbench script used for NFS file client:
Note: The “anchor” directory must be unique for each client.
*******************************************************************
* 100% random, 70% read file I/O test.
