I am working on integrating a backup solution for our ovirt environment and having issues
with the time it takes to backup the VM's. This backup solution is simply taking a
snapshot and making a clone and backing the clone up to a backup server.
A VM that is 100 gig takes 52 minutes to back up. The same VM doing a file backup using
the same product, and bypassing their rhv plugin, takes 14 minutes. So the throughput is
there but the ovirt imageio-proxy process seems to be what manages how images are uploaded
and is officially my bottle neck. Load is not high on the engine or kvm hosts.
I had bumped up the Upload image size from 100MB to 10gig weeks ago and that didn't
seem to help.
[root@blah-lab-engine ~]# engine-config -a |grep Upload
UploadImageChunkSizeKB: 10240000 version: general
[root@bgl-vms-engine ~]# rpm -qa |grep ovirt-image
ovirt-imageio-proxy-1.4.6-1.el7.noarch
ovirt-imageio-common-1.4.6-1.el7.x86_64
ovirt-imageio-proxy-setup-1.4.6-1.el7.noarch
I have seen bugs reported to redhat about this but I am running above the affected
releases.
engine software is 4.2.8.2-1.el7
Any idea what we can tweak to open up this bottleneck?
