I created a batch script that will benchmark a disk(s) using SQLIO and record the output to a single file (or multiple, if necessary). After benchmarking completes, I run SQLIOResults and choose the output file that was created by my batch script.

Once SQLIOResults parses the SQLIO output and finishes inserting it into Excel, I create a PivotChart to compare the disk(s) IOPS and MB/s at each of the different test levels.

Hopefully someone else will find this useful. Also, if anyone knows how I can create a pivot chart in Powershell (if there’s a COM call), please let me know so I can completely automate this!
