Oracle Orion on Windows

A IOPS benchmarking tool for Oracle database. It is not only measuring the IOs but simulating as well.

Create a text file call mytest.lun then insert the datafile you would like to test againts.

C:\APP\ADMIN\ORADATA\CS\VCLOUD.DBF


Then run the the command from DOS. Make sure you run it as Administrator that has privide to write CVS file to the folder.
