How can I load test Windows Server?

Question

stress testing

Colleagues, tell me how you can load test windows server 2012 r2? He will play the role of HV. Not a cluster. I would like to drive it for a day or two under full load before commissioning.

Answer 1

in general, MS has a special Windows Hardware Lab Kit , but with your conditions it will not take off (because it starts with Windows Server 2016)
And so you have three components that need to be tested: disks, CPU and memory
disks - this is DiskSPD
memory - Memtest or some general test like SiSoft Sandra, AIDA64 etc.
CPU - Prime95, AIDA64, OCCT, etc.
PS on Technet they also advise HeavyLoad - I haven't tried it, I won't say anything...
