I'm trying to test 3 iSCSI diks without any volume on them in Windows Server 2012. Two of them are GPT and one is MBR if it make sence. Here is a part of param file, that I use:
hd=localhost
sd=sd1,lun=\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1,openflags=directio,threads=8
#sd=sd2,lun=\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE2,openflags=directio,threads=8
#sd=sd3,lun=\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE3,openflags=directio,threads=8
wd=s1,sd=*,seekpct=5,rdpct=100,xfersize=256k
wd=s2,sd=*,seekpct=5,rdpct=75,xfersize=256k
wd=s3,sd=*,seekpct=5,rdpct=50,xfersize=256k
wd=s4,sd=*,seekpct=5,rdpct=0,xfersize=256k
Here is the output:
