Hi Mark,
thanks for the links.
If I search for wip-auth I found nothing in docs.ceph.com... this mean,
that wip-auth don't find the way in the ceph code base?!
But I'm wonder about the RHEL7 position at the link
http://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg22416.html
Unfortunality there are no values for RHEL7 with auth...
But is known on which side (or how many percent) the bottleneck for
cephx is (client, mon, osd)? My clients (qemu on proxmox-ve) are not
changeable, but my OSDs can also run on RHEL7/CentOS if this bring an
performance boost. The Mons are running on the proxmox-ve host yet.

Hi Udo,
There was quite a bit of discussion and some partial improvements to
cephx performance about a year ago. You can see some of the
discussion here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-devel/msg3.html
and in particular these tests:

Hi,
on an small test-system (3 nodes (mon + osd), 6 OSDs, ceph 0.94.6) I
compare with and without cephx.
I use fio for that inside an VM on an host, outside the 3 ceph-nodes,
with this command:
fio --max-jobs=1 --numjobs=1 --readwrite=read --blocksize=4k --size=4G
--direct=1 --name=fiojob_4k
All test are run three times (after clearing caches) and I take the
average (but the values are very close together).
cephx or not don't matter for an big blocksize of 4M - but for 4k!
If I disable cephx I got:
7040kB/s bandwith
1759IOPS
564µS clat
The same config, but with cephx I see this values:
4265 kB/s bandwith
1066 IOPS
933µS clat
This shows, that the performance drop by 40% with cephx!!
To disable cephx is no alternative, because any system which have access
to the ceph-network can read/write all data...
ceph.conf without cephx:
[global]
auth_cluster_required = none
auth_service_required = none
auth_client_required = none
cephx_sign_messages = false
cephx_require_signatures = false
#
cluster network =...
ceph.conf with cephx:
[global]
auth client required = cephx
auth cluster required = cephx
auth service required = cephx
#
cluster network =...
Is it possible to reduce the cephx impact?
Any hints are welcome.
regards
Udo
