    SQLIOSIM is the tool to use to validate that an IO subsystem will properly handle SQL Server IO-style workloads.

    But SQL needs to be stopped when running that. The aim is to validate the IO subsystem, nor slaughter it.

    I thought he/she said they wanted to know if the IO subsystem had problems with SQL Server data that was causing problems. SQLIOSIM is a/the way to validate that.
