Copy the TcDiskTest.exe and TClib32.dll to any directory on the TCOSS server (tclib32.dll is only
necessary if there has been no KCS installation before, if the TCOSS has already been installed the
TCLIB32.DLL is already available there).
Operation
Starting the test tool without any parameters shows a short help:
Parameter explanation:
-pXY: Perform one disk write access in XY milliseconds
-tXY: Maximum test duration in seconds (-p0 for unlimited test)
-bXY: The size of block to be written during each disk access in kBytes
-dX: The logical drive to be tested (e.g. –dc for C:, -dd for D:, etc.)
-mXY: Show each disc access that lasted longer than XY ms on the screen and in the trace file
-wXY: Show current and average disk writes/sec every XY seconds
-iXY: Test file size in number of blocks (default: 1000000 4kByte blocks => 4 GB)
-rXY: Test disk reads (instead of writes) using XY read threads, 0 = test writes
-eX: Delete test file after test 0/1 (default 1 = delete)
It is not necessary to change any default settings except for –p, -t and –d parameters.
For the test operation at least command –p must be entered. For example, to perform one disk access in
1000ms in the root of the D: logical drive, enter:
C:\TcDiskTest> TcDiskTest –p1000 –dd
During the first run, the tool at first creates its test file (note that it may take a few minutes to do so):
