Yes, I'm tracking that, and there are no drops at the switches (or the Linux servers' end). The link utilization is pretty low. The server 1G ports are typically only running about 5-20 Mbps on each link (a spike is 50-100 Mbps on each, and those are usually only on one server at a time, hosting a busier VM). The SAN 10G ports are running about 30-50 Mbps (spiking to maybe 200 Mbps). My monitoring system is pulling stats from the switch every 60 seconds. I could reproduce some of the latency on a server in maintenance mode, where my script was the only thing touching the disk (so no other storage traffic from that server). > When you get high latency, does it affect only that node or all at the same > time?

It seems to affect multiple nodes at the same time, although not always (or at least not always to the same extent). Usually, the oVirt warnings about high latency are only on one node at any given time (but there has been a time or two where it has been two nodes). Looking at pause frame stats on the switch, they're essentially zero (0-100 pause frames received on some server ports with a switch uptime of 5 months). No pause frames on the SAN ports, and no pause frames transmitted on any port from the switch. > Is there any packetloss between your hosts and your eql(s) ?

I'm reasonably sure it isn't a network issue, but I hadn't checked all of the above. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
