I've explored iozone, but it seems to only coordinate runs across hosts, I then have to aggregate the data on my own. I'm looking for a more integrated tool. One that I can load the binary on, then start it from a control host, it starts a workload on a list of systems, and they report back to the control host on performance data. Workloads should include lots of small file creates/reads/access/deletes and large file type stuff as well (like iozone).
iometer will do this... you can install the client (dynamo it's called) on a bunch of machines and then control the runs from a central host. works pretty well, though the control GUI thing is Windows only IIRC, though the load generator runs on a few OSes.
