Sorry about the repost from the cbt list, but it was suggested I post here as
well:
I am attempting to track down some performance issues in a Ceph cluster
recently deployed. Our configuration is as follows:
3 storage nodes, each with:
- 8 Cores
- 64GB of RAM
- 2x 1TB 7200 RPM Spindle
- 1x 120GB Intel SSD
- 2x 10GBit NICs (In LACP Port-channel)
The OSD pool min_size is set to “1” and “size” is set to “3”. When creating a
new pool and running RADOS benchmarks, performance isn’t bad — about what I
would expect from this hardware configuration:
WRITES:
Total writes made: 207
Write size: 4194304
Bandwidth (MB/sec): 80.017
Stddev Bandwidth: 34.9212
Max bandwidth (MB/sec): 120
Min bandwidth (MB/sec): 0
Average Latency: 0.797667
Stddev Latency: 0.313188
Max latency: 1.72237
Min latency: 0.253286
RAND READS:
Total time run: 10.127990
Total reads made: 1263
Read size: 4194304
Bandwidth (MB/sec): 498.816
Average Latency: 0.127821
Max latency: 0.464181
Min latency: 0.0220425
This all looks fine, until we try to use the cluster for its purpose, which is
to house images for qemu-kvm, which are access using librbd. I/O inside VMs
have excessive I/O wait times (in the hundreds of ms at times, making some
operating systems, like Windows unusable) and throughput struggles to exceed
10MB/s (or less). Looking at ceph health, we see very low op/s numbers as well
as throughput and the requests blocked number seems very high. Any ideas as to
what to look at here?
health HEALTH_WARN
8 requests are blocked > 32 sec
monmap e3: 3 mons at

client io 3957 B/s rd, 3494 kB/s wr, 30 op/s
Of note, on the other list, I was asked to provide the following:
- ceph version 0.94.1 (e4bfad3a3c51054df7e537a724c8d0bf9be972ff)
- The SSD is split into 8GB partitions. These 8GB partitions are used
as journal devices, specified in /etc/ceph/ceph.conf. For example:
[osd.0]
host = storage-1
osd journal =
/dev/mapper/INTEL_SSDSC2BB120G4_CVWL4363006R120LGNp1
- rbd_cache is enabled and qemu cache is set to “writeback"
- rbd_concurrent_management_ops is unset, so it appears the default is
“10”
Thanks,
