Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How to generate a lot of load on an Oracle database?
I tried testing ORION on my PC a while back and couldn't get it to work. I was just putting in "c:","c:\", or "c:\temp" in the mytest.lun file, but none of them would work. In the documentation they only show examples of Unix volumes, e.g. /dev/raw/raw1, so I'm not sure how to make it work on Windows. If anyone gets it to work, please let me know how.
Thanks,
Brandon

I've not used it myself, but Oracle has a tool called ORION for testing I/O systems by creating a simulated database workload. It might do what you want. You can get it from OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/orion/index.html

Hi!
We need to test the maximum I/O throughput of our SAN storage system and therefore need an Oracle database to generate so much load that there is an I/O bottleneck. Does anybody out there have open source tools or Oracle scripts for that?
This is 9.2 on HP-UX 11i and EMC Clariion.
Thanks,
Helmut
