These are the existing and preconfigured IO Analyzer profiles:
VSAN test profiles:
I have added the VSAN profiles manually. You need to manually upload the icf files to /var/www/configs
You can download the files here:
VSAN_4K_100Read_100ran.icf VSAN_4K_70Read_80ran.icf
PernixData FVP test profiles:
I have created together with my friends at PernixData two special PernixData FVP profiles.
The first one (PRNX_4K_100Read_100ran.icf) is using 4 workers, each with 16 outstanding IO and a Block Size of 4KB, 100% Read, 100% Random. The second one (PRNX_BurstyOLTP.icf) is using a combination of reads and writes of 4KB.
You can download the files here:
PRNX_4K_100read_100ran.icf
Here are the details about the different profiles:
