  I will soon be moving our main OLTP system to a new cluster running SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise. I would like to stress test the new servers and its connection to the SAN. Keep in mind that our LUNs are connected using mount points. What are the best tools for the job?

  I am familar with CrystalDiskMark to test IO to the SAN, but I don't think this supports mount points yet.

  Thanks for any advice,

  Steve
