Hi Alex, I just want to know the performance between the cloudstack with NFS and other with FC. Whether we can use CloudStack as an important role. As you can see, I have tested in 8 ways with fio. The 4k test was only done with iometer that I used. But, as you suggested, I have increased the number of workers from 1 to 10, and the 4k read IOPS has increased from 11k to 49k! Such a good news. I'm running the same jobs now. We can see the result 40 minutes later.

Which workload? Why did you choose sequential reads of 4k? How many workers did you setup?

By the Cloudstack test, I used the KVM. Best regards.

"NFS on CloudStack" means using NFS as primary storage and running VMs on it. We will running PostgreSQL and apps on the cluster. Only one worker at a time. Is there something wrong with my testing methods? Best regards.

Do you mean NFS on KVM? Why are running 4K sequential for your tests? What’s the workload you are actually trying to test for? How many workers do you have setup for IOMETER?

This is the same question, only append the url for the images. I have tested the storage performance of my storage system using three different methods: 1. Using the NFS protocol with a 10G network, on VMware ESXi, with a 4K block size and 100% sequential read operations.

Using the NFS protocol with a 10G network, on Cloudstack, with a 4K block size and 100% sequential read operations. Mounted with these: 'vers=4.1,nconnect=16' * Url of this image: https://s2.loli.net/2024/11/18/a2WY3gpGVA6XeCO.png<https://s2.loli.net/2024/11/18/a2WY3gpGVA6XeCO.png> [cid:50da97e1$2$1933d1487cb$Coremail$szz799$163.com] 3. Using the FC protocol with 16G , on Cloudstack, treating the LUN accessed via FC as a local disk, with a 4K block size and 100% sequential read operations. Url of this image: https://s2.loli.net/2024/11/18/WFsek69I3ZBblvQ.png [cid:5401a69f$3$1933d1487cb$Coremail$szz799$163.com] The results show : with the same storage system, the average I/O response time is best (0.32) when using NFS with VMware ESXi. The second is FC-SAN with Cloudstack (1.25), and the worst is NFS with Cloudstack. Even the NFS with ESXi is better than fc-san? I believe there may be some configurations that could improve the storage performance when using Cloudstack. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could offer some advice or solutions to help me optimize the Cloudstack storage performance. Thank you very much for your attention. Best regards. Leo.
