test throughput for hardware

Hi Team,

I would like to measure the performance of reading and writing test files to measure throughput

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25554/hardware.htm#DWHSG8126

Suppose my ASM disks is listed below

Disk /dev/sdb: 268.4 GB, 268435456000 bytes, 524288000 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk label type: dos

Disk identifier: 0x4e6e1670

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sdb1            2048   524287999   262142976   83  Linux

Disk /dev/sdc: 268.4 GB, 268435456000 bytes, 524288000 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk label type: dos

Disk identifier: 0x36ac345b

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sdc1            2048   524287999   262142976   83  Linux

Disk /dev/sdd: 268.4 GB, 268435456000 bytes, 524288000 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk label type: dos

Disk identifier: 0x4042930c

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sdd1            2048   524287999   262142976   83  Linux

Disk /dev/sde: 268.4 GB, 268435456000 bytes, 524288000 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk label type: dos

Disk identifier: 0xad2667fc

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System

/dev/sde1            2048   524287999   262142976   83  Linux

I am planning to test the read/write throughput for each disks before deploying in a datawarehouse.

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/tmp/test1.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync

For buffered and cached disk read space

hdparm -t /dev/sdb

Kindly confirm if dd command is OK or is there any other tools

Thanks,

Joe
