SysBench is a modular, cross-platform and multi-threaded benchmark tool for evaluating OS parameters that are important for a system running a database under intensive load. There are also sample DTrace scripts which utilize the probes in MySQL to collect information about SQL calls. Users should check /export/home/mysql README files for directions.The MySQL and SysBench binaries are located in the /usr/local/mysql and /sysbench directories. An existing user 'mysql' is authorized to start the MySQL server and run tests.
Note: default mysql root user password can be obtained from /root/ec2sun/README file
