Measures reported by IbmDsLdevPerfTest

The IbmDsLdevPerfTest reports the level of I/O and transaction traffic on each LUN so that, you can accurately isolate LUNs that are over-loaded.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Total_IO Indicates the number of I/O operations on this LUN during the last measurement period. Number  
Prct_read Indicates the percentage of read operations on this LUN. Percent  
Prct_write Indicates the percentage of write operations on this LUN. Percent  
Cache_hit_prct Indicates the percentage of requests served from the cache by this LUN. Percent A high value is ideally desired for this measure. A low value could imply that most of the data requested is not in the cache, which in turn could result in a high degree of direct disk accesses.
Trans_rate Indicates the rate of transactions to this LUN. KB/Sec  
Current_IOPS Indicates the rate of I/O operations to this LUN. IO/Sec
