How to find the IOPS and Latency in a Hybrid Infrastructure.
Our DataCenter Infrastructure is 75% virtual (VMware 6.5) and 25% Physical.
The Virtual and Physical Servers (mostly HP and Dell Chassis and Few Individual HP and Dell Servers) are connected to 3 Storage Arrays (HPE) each having their own management interface. How can I find the IOPS and Latency in such a setup. Is there any specific tools (if so what tools are available) and where exactly should this be run on. I need some guidance to find the overall IOPS and Latency if not accurate, at least the general IOPS and Latency. Thank you.

On two Storage arrays I can see the IOPS. However, does this mean I have to run IO Meter on all the other individual Hosts and one Storage Array and then take an average reading? The vCenter provides the overall performance related to CPU and memory but not IOPS and Latency. However, that link was highly informative. Thanks.
thats a bit odd we can report on datastore latency
what are you trying to solve investigate diagnose?
why do you want to know IOPS what are you going to do with that figure
do you have performance issues on datasore?
are things slow
has a vendor asked how many IOPS does your SAN have for a particular dapplication
cn you see what Im getting at

We are in the process of refreshing our Storage Arrays and this is one piece of information (what is your current IOPS) most Vendors ask. Therefore, would like to know if there is an easier way to find the IOPS for the entire DataCenter. That's all.

have you checked your HPE tools for IOPS otherwise you will need to use third party tools such as I?O Meter
but latency is key to performance
