how to graph iozone output using OpenOffice?

[SilverNodashi]

Hi all,

Can anyone please steer me in the right direction with this one? I've searched the net, but couldn't find a clear answer.

How do I actually generate graphs from iozone, using OpenOffice? Every website I've been to simply mentions that iozone can output an xls file which can be used in MS Excel to generate a 3D graph. But, I can't see how it's actually done. Can anyone please help me with this?

I've run the following command on a CentOS 5.4 server:

iozone -R -l 5 -u 5 -r 1m -s 100m -F /home/f1 /home/f2 /home/f3 /home/f4 /home/f5 | tee -a /tmp/iozone_results.txt &


And then imported the iozone_results.tx file into OpenOffice Calc, but got no idea where to from here?
I would like todo something like this:

I don't know iozone, but I came across this in the documentation:

-b filename
   Iozone will create a binary file format file in Excel compatible output of results.

So, try adding a "-b iozone_results.xls" somewhere in there, instead of using "| tee..."
