    Can any one suggest a method to test the disk I/O throughput from an AIX server, READ & WRITE, in a SAN environment.

    What could be an acceptable value when using dual HBA's (2 Gb), with SDDPCM and SAN Volume Controller for an AIX 5.3 server.

    Sorry,
    misread your post.
    nstress would be the tool to produce IO on your Adapter to check Performance.
