In the Workload Management Capacity on Demand orange book, there is an I/O throughput metric that can be used to assess I/O usage by workload. See section 5.2 of this orange book. Essentially there are several different I/O bandwidth fields in the ResUsageSPS table that you can add together. As shown in the orange book.
You have to know approximately what the max bandwidth is for I/O on your nodes, then you can compare bandwidth collected by workload derived from the ResUsageSPS table against that expected max.
In the orange book mentioned above the MB/second/node metrics were derived for these tests by adding together the following columns from the ResUsageSPS table: • FilePDbAcqReadKB • FilePCiAcqReadKB • FileSDbAcqReadKB • FileSCiAcqReadKB • FilePDbPreReadKB • FilePCiPreReadKB • FileSDbPreReadKB • FileSCiPreReadKB • FilePDbFWriteKB • FilePCiFWriteKB • FileSDbFWriteKB • FileSCiFWriteKB • FileTJtAcqReadKB • FileAPtAcqReadKB • FileTJtPreReadKB • FileAPtPreReadKB • FileTJtFWriteKB • FileAPtFWriteKB
All of those fields are available in 14.0 ResusageSPS.
