Hi
i am trying Ovirt 4.0 and i am getting some strange results when comparing with Xenserver
*The host machine
Intel Core i5-4440 3.10GHz running at 3093 MHz
8 Gb of RAM (1x8)
500 Gb of Disk (seagate st500dm002 7200rpm)
CentOS 7 (netinstall for the most updated and stable packages)
*How i am testing:
I choose two benchmark tools, sysbench(epel-repo on centos) and novabench(for windows guest,
https://novabench.com ), then i make a clean install of xenserver and create two guests(CentOS and Windows 7 SP1)
*The Guest specs
2 cores
4 Gb of RAM
60 Gb of disk (using virtIO in a NFS storage)
Important note: only the testing guest are up on benchmark and i have installed the drivers in guest
*The Sysbench disk test(creates 10Gb of data and do the bench):
# sysbench --test=fileio --file-total-size=10G prepare
# sysbench --test=fileio --file-total-size=10G --file-test-mode=rndrw --init-rng=on --max-time=300 --max-requests=0 run
Host result: 2.9843Mb/sec
Ovirt result: 1.1561Mb/sec
Xenserver result: 2.9006Mb/sec
*The novabench test:
Ovirt result: 79Mb/s
Xenserver result: 101Mb/s
I do other tests, like cpu, memory and etc, ovirt wins with a small advantage(less then 1%)
