Generating accurate SQLIO workload file from perfmon trace

  • I'm about to setup a migration to a new consolidated platform and would like to test the underlying disk subsytem.

    I have a perfmon trace from a LIVE environment and have calculated the average read and write bytes per second for the data and log files. Is there an easy way to generate an equivalant SqlIO workload trace file to attempt to replicate this activity?

  • Hi,

    You can use the following to perform what you want.

    This proc give you Input/output on Database files (from the starting of the server until now).

    it's just a little bit of what you want, just customize the proc

    Create proc getDataLogIO

    As

    Begin

    Declare @loopCounter BigInt,@maxCounter BigInt,@dbId BigInt

    Declare @fieldId BigInt,@dbName Sysname,@FileName Sysname,@strSQL Nvarchar(500)

    Declare @databases Table (Id Int Identity,[dbId] Int,dbName Sysname)

    Create Table #DBFiles (ID Int Identity,[dbId] Int,fileId Int,[filename] Sysname,databasename Sysname)

    Insert Into @databases ([dbId],dbName)

    Select

    [dbId]

    ,[name]

    From

    master..sysdatabases

    Order By

    [dbId]

    Set @loopCounter = 1

    Select @maxCounter=MAX(ID) From @databases

    While @loopCounter <= @maxCounter

    Begin

    Select

    @dbId = [dbId],@dbName=dbName

    From

    @databases

    Where

    Id = @loopCounter

    Set @strSQL = 'Insert Into #DBFiles(dbID,fileID,filename,databasename)

    Select '+str(@dbId)+',fileId,name,'''+@dbName+''' AS databasename From ['+@dbName+'].dbo.sysfiles'

    Exec sp_executesql @strSQL

    Set @loopCounter = @loopCounter + 1

    End

    Create Table #FilesStat (ID Int Identity,dbID Int,fileID Int,databasename Sysname,filename Sysname,sampleTime datetime,numberReads BigInt,numberWrites BigInt,bytesRead BigInt,

    bytesWritten BigInt,ioStAllMs BigInt)

    Select

    @maxCounter=max(Id)

    From

    #DBFiles

    Set @loopCounter = 1

    While @loopCounter <= @maxCounter

    Begin

    Select @dbId = dbId, @fieldId=fileID, @dbName=databasename, @FileName=filename

    From #DBFiles

    Where ID = @loopCounter

    Insert Into #FilesStat(dbID,fileID,sampleTime,numberReads,numberWrites,bytesRead,bytesWritten,ioStAllMs,databasename,filename)

    Select

    dbID

    ,fileID

    ,getDate()

    ,numberReads

    ,numberWrites

    ,bytesRead

    ,bytesWritten

    ,ioStAllMs

    ,@dbName AS databasename

    ,@FileName AS filename

    From

    :: FN_VIRTUALFILESTATS(@dbId,@fieldId)

    Set @loopCounter = @loopCounter + 1

    End

    Select

    getDate()

    ,@dbName AS databasename

    ,@FileName AS filename

    --,numberReads

    --,numberWrites

    ,bytesRead

    ,bytesWritten

    ,ioStAllMs

    from

    #FilesStat

    Drop Table #DBFiles

    Drop Table #FilesStat

    End

    exec getDataLogIo
