Hi,
We're running oVirt 4.3.8 and even if this is a problem we've had since
a lot of time (I would say since 4.0.x), I decided to look for help in
case anything can be done.
Our environment is heavily used by users in our University (about 3000
users), and currently our oVirt infrastructure has 1928 virtual
machines, being 882 of them currently running. We have a separate
physical machine for the manager node, and the problem is that this
machine is very, very, very slow, despite it has (from my point of view)
enough physical resources to run efficiently.
By slow I mean even the SSH access to it takes about 10 seconds, not
just the admin/user portals. Any operation takes enough time to make the
experience not comfortable to our users (enter the VM portal, start a
VM, open a console...).
Node machine's parameters are:
18GB of RAM memory
1 processor with 12CPUs
300GB SCSI Disk, local storage. No Storage Domain is stored in this node
machine.
Currently, most consuming processes are:

Actually, I'm not really sure why is this machine so slow. In terms of
RAM memory and CPU, it still has a bunch of free resources.
Could someone help track this down and point some advices on how to
optimize the user experience in this case?
Thanks!
