Issue
Receiving an error when running the test harness tool batch file.
Symptoms
Error: Cannot open backup device.
Cause
Missing a parameter on the command when running the test harness tool batch file.
Solution
Use this syntax:
SqlPerformanceTest.Bat . "<full file path and name of .bak file that came with the batch file here without the brackets but keep the quotes>" "<partition drive>:\mssql\Data\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA" "<partition drive>:\mssql\Log"
Example (if the batch file and all the other files for the tools were saved on the C:\temp and SQL partitions are in E and F drive):
SqlPerformanceTest.Bat . "C:\temp\backup.bak" "E:\mssql\Data\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA" "F:\mssql\Log"
