Well, each volume has only one brick. Each volume has one dedicated server. 
Each server storage has the disks in raid10. 
I made the gluster volume like this 
gluster volume create data transport tcp gfs.domain.com:/home/brick1 
And than create a data domain in ovirt: gfs.domain.com:/data 

is this correct? 

Thanks 

José

Why don't you use the devices of the 2 bricks in a single striped LV or raid0 
md device ? 

Distributed volumes spread the files among the bricks and the performance is 
limited to the brick's device speed.

Yes, the VM's disks are on the distributed volume 

They were created like this: 
gluster volume create data transport tcp gfs2.domain.com:/home/brick1

Are the VM's disks located on the distributed Volume ?

The engine version is 4.3.9.4-1.el7 
I have 2 simple glusterfs, a volume with one brick gfs1 with an old version of 
gluster (3.7.6) and a volume with one brick gfs2 with version 6.8 
2 hosts, node3 is up to date, node 2 is not up to date: 
RHEL - 7 – 7.1908.0.el7.centos 
CentOS Linux 7 (Core) 
3.10.0 – 1062.18.1.el7.x86_64 
2.12.0 – 33.1.el7_7.4 
libvirt-4.5.0-23.el7_7.6 
vdsm-4.30.43-1.el7 
0.14.0 – 7.el7 
glusterfs-6.8-1.el7 
librbd1-10.2.5-4.el7 
openvswitch-2.11.0-4.el7 

gfs1 has 3 nic's gigabit in mode 802.3ad 
gfs2 has 4 nic's gigabit in mode 802.3ad 

A VM performes better in node3/gfs1: 

# dd if=/dev/zero of=test1.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync 1+0 registos dentro 
1+0 registos fora 1073741824 bytes (1,1 GB) copiados, 12,3365 s, 87,0 MB/s 
in node2/gfs2: 

dd if=/dev/zero of=test1.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=dsync 1+0 records in 1+0 
records out 1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 51.0159 s, 21.0 MB/s 

For windows machine is the same. It helps if you have windows drives up to 
date.

It seems that your e-mail went to the spam. 

I would start with isolating the issue ? 
1. Is this a VM specific issue or a more-wide issue. 
- Can you move another VM on that storage domain and verify performance ? 
- Can you create/migrate same OS-type VM and check performance? 
- What about running a VM with different version of Windows or even better -> 
Linux ? 


Also I would check the systems from bottom up. 
Check the following: 
- Are you using Latest Firmware/OS updates for the Hosts and Engine ? 
- What is your cmdline : 
cat /proc/cmdline 
- Tuned profile 
- Are you using a HW controller for the Gluster bricks ? Health of controller 
and disks ? 
- Is the FS aligned properly to the HW controller (stripe unit and stripe width 
)? More details on 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.5/html-single/administration_guide/index#Hardware_RAID
 

- FS Fragmentation ? Is your FS full ? 

- Gluster volume status ? Client count ? (for example: gluster volume status 
all client-list) 
- Gluster version, cluster.op-version and cluster.max-op-version ? 

- If your network is slower than the bricks' backend (disks faster than 
network) , you can set cluster.choose-local to 'yes' 

- Any errors and warnings in the gluster logs ?

Strahil Nikolov

Hello, 

For example, a window machine runs to slow, usually the disk is allways in 100% 
The group virt settings is this?: 
performance.quick-read=off 
performance.read-ahead=off 
performance.io-cache=off 
performance.low-prio-threads=32 
network.remote-dio=enable 
features.shard=on 
user.cifs=off 
client.event-threads=4 
server.event-threads=4 
performance.client-io-threads=on

Usually, oVirt uses the 'virt' group of settings. 

What are you symptoms ?

Hello, 

Can anyone help me in how can I improve the performance of glusterfs to work 
with oVirt? 

Thanks
