Exchange Server 2010 Learning (15) Exchange disk stress test

This article mainly uses Jetstress 2010 to test the exchange's disk subsystem to assess whether the IO performance of the Exchange disk subsystem meets the design requirements. The Jetstress tool simulates Exchange I/O at the database level through direct interaction with the database technology of the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE), also known as the Jet,exchange build. You can configure Jetstress to test the need for Exchange to constrain the maximum I/O throughput available for the disk subsystem, and verify that the disk subsystem can use this profile to maintain an acceptable level of performance. Before you deploy an Exchange server, you can use the Jetstress test to verify storage reliability and performance.

In this simulation test environment, in order to strive for simplicity, no longer use the environment used in the previous article, will reinstall the three new virtual machines. The configuration is shown in the following illustration:

Server role	Server name	IP configuration
Domain Controller	Dc.uec.com	ip:192.168.10.10 Mask: 255.255.255.0 dns:192.168.10.10
Exchange2010 Cas/hub role	Cashub1.uec.com	ip:192.168.10.21 Mask: 255.255.255.0 dns:192.168.10.10
Exchange2010 Mailbox role	Mbx1.uec.com	ip:192.168.10.31 Mask: 255.255.255.0 dns:192.168.10.10

Active Directory Preparation

Running Dcpromo on a DC server automatically installs the system files required by the domain server. After the system files have been installed, the Domain Server Setup Wizard starts, as shown in the following figure, and click Next to continue.

Because we are creating a new domain, because in the interface shown in the following illustration, select New domain in New Forest:

The domain name we are going to create is uec.com, so the FQDN of the forest root level domain is: uec.com, as shown in the following illustration:
