How do I install Fio to measure disk I/O performance?

AppDynamics recommends using fio, a free tool for measuring disk I/O performance. Fio is meant to be used both for benchmark and stress/hardware verification. Fedora maintains builds of fio in their Extra Packages on Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repositories.

How to add EPEL repository to a server:

Note: Run the following as root user from the command line.

RHEL6 example:

Install EPEL repository.

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-6.noarch.rpm

rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Install fio using yum
- ```
yum install fio
```

RHEL7 example:

Install EPEL repository.

wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

```
rpm -ivh epel-release-7-9.noarch.rpm
```

Install fio using yum
- ```
yum install fio
```
