I'm looking for a tool to generate a load onto a CIFS share from a Windows server. I see lots of comments out on the internet with folks using IOMETER to do this, but when I downloaded it I found that it doesn't support network shares.
Any suggestions for a Windows tool to generate I/O onto a share?
Thanks!
Rick

I believe sio will run against a share (or at least on a mapped drive): http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/tools/sio_ntap/

Quick and dirty –
To simply create a LARGE file as fast as a client can; look at the linux command ‘DD’. There are a few free/shareware windows versions floating around over the years Goggle “Windows DD”. I’ve used it in the past a few times to quickly generate load on a CIFS or NFS share to test I/O. Take < 5 minutes to download and have it running - load it up on a lot of workstations at once and watch your network team call asking why you are generation so much traffic ;)

Hi,
I've used iometer in the past. A similar tool is vdbench.

VDBench is good if you want to hit it from multiple clients, and have a defined workload that you can then share with for e.g. the vendor..

Robocopy is what I use. Just pick a large directory with lots of small files and robocopy it. It has the side effect of being pretty representative of the worst kind of CIFS IO- relentless with tons of small files.

That sounds like a decent idea. SQLIO is another Microsoft tool that can do I/o benchmarking. I usually try and use a combination of multiple tools.
