Measures reported by HitachiLunTest

This test monitors the I/O activity on each LUN on the storage device, and reveals the LUN that is experiencing the maximum throughput.

This test is used to monitors I/O activity on each LUN on the storage device, and reveals the LUN that is experiencing the maximum throughput

 The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
IO_Rate Indicates the number of read/write commands executed on this LUN per second. IOPS If this measure reports a high value or if the value of the measure increases consistently, it is indicative of unusually high I/O activity on this LUN. Comparing the value of this measure across LUNs can accurately indicate which LUN is currently experiencing heavy workloads. Observing the variations in this measure over a period of time will enable you to figure out bottlenecks in load balancing.
Read_Rate Indicates the number of read operations performed on this LUN per second. IOPS  
Write_Rate Indicates the number of write commands issued on this LUN per second. IOPS  
Read_Hit Indicates the percentage of read requests that were served from this LUN. % Ideally, the value of this measure should be high. A low value is a cause for concern, as it could indicate that a majority of the read requests have failed. .
Write_Hit Indicates the percentage of data written to this LUN. % Ideally, the value of this measure should be high. A low value is a cause for concern, as it indicates that data is not getting written to the LUN; this could be owing to an I/O bottleneck, which might have to be investigated.
Trans_Rate Indicates the transfer size of read/write commands per second. KB/sec  
Read_Trans_Rate Indicates the transfer size of read commands per second. KB/sec  
Write_Trans_Rate Indicates the transfer size of write commands per second. KB/sec  
Tag_Count Indicates this LUN's current tag count. Number
