Sorry for double post but I don't know if this mail has been received.
Hello everyone,
I know this issue was already treated on this mailing list. However none
of the proposed solutions is satisfying me.
Here is my situation : I've got 3 hyperconverged gluster ovirt nodes,
with 6 network interfaces, bounded in bunches of 2 (management, VMs and
gluster). The gluster network is on a dedicated bound where the 2
interfaces are directly connected to the 2 other ovirt nodes. Gluster is
apparently using it :
# gluster volume status vmstore
Status of volume: vmstore
Gluster process TCP Port RDMA Port
Online Pid
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brick gluster-ov1:/gluster_bricks
/vmstore/vmstore 49152 0 Y 3019
Brick gluster-ov2:/gluster_bricks
/vmstore/vmstore 49152 0 Y 3009
Brick gluster-ov3:/gluster_bricks
/vmstore/vmstore
where 'gluster-ov{1,2,3}' are domain names referencing nodes in the
gluster network. This networks has 10Gbps capabilities :
# iperf3 -c gluster-ov3

However, VMs stored on the vmstore gluster volume has poor write
performances, oscillating between 100KBps and 30MBps. I almost always
observe a write spike (180Mbps) at the beginning until around 500MB
written, then it drastically falls at 10MBps, sometimes even less
(100KBps). Hypervisors have 32 threads (2 sockets, 8 cores per socket, 2
threads per core).
Here is the volume settings :
Volume Name: vmstore
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: XXX
Status: Started
Snapshot Count: 0
Number of Bricks: 1 x 3 = 3
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: gluster-ov1:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore
Brick2: gluster-ov2:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore
Brick3: gluster-ov3:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore

performance.io-thread-count: 32 # was 16 by default.

When I naively write directly on the logical volume, which is mounted on
a material RAID5 3-disks array, I have interesting performances:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=a bs=4M count=2048
2048+0 records in
2048+0 records out
8589934592 bytes (8.6 GB, 8.0 GiB) copied, 17.2485 s, 498 MB/s
#urandom gives around 200MBps
Moreover, hypervisors have SSD which have been configured as lvcache,
but I'm unsure how to test it efficiently.
I can't find where is the problem, as every piece of the chain is
apparently doing well ...
Thanks anyone for helping me :)
