Re: [ovirt-users] Benefits of Cluster separation
We only have about 200 VMs, but we’ve run into this bug [1] because we use a high number of direct attach luns on our VMs. It takes about 5 minutes to scan all the fibre channel luns (same issues exists with iSCSI) and used times out before completing (until we changed the value of vdsTimeout higher). Also because of the way our FC storage is presented, we have about 1,400 multipath devices presented to each host. This contributes to really long scan times and I think causes some general slowness in administration side and “Bad Request” 500 Errors when running some storage commands from the API. VMs themselves still run just fine with no noticeable performance issues though.
