Re: P690 and Shark Performance Problem

First off, you'll need to set your filesystem cache to a small amount (use
vmo and ioo commands to do this). If you don't do this, your testing will
be skewed.

Next, just file off some "dd", "find", "tar" or "cpio" commands with the
"time" command.

Monitor with vmstat and iostat.

>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I would like to test my P690 and
Shark through put. Dose anyone know of a good way to really push there
system to see what kind of performance you can get. I would like to test
the processors and the disk performance. Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
