Hi,
I'm wondering why my Hyper-Visor is running 102 vdsm processes, each
using ~20mb = 2GB used ?? Is this expected and normal ??
Thanks,
Alex

vdsm uses the models of
multi-threading and multi-processes both. So not
sure if they're all processes. Could you please paste what you see here
here? Or capture the output of command "ps -L aux|grep vdsm" on your
hypervisor.
Thanks!
Mark.
Thanks,
Alex

Hey ,
For your question, VDSM creates external processes for each storage operation it performs.
Using external process allows to make parallel operations without being blocked on IO
tasks, which can cause denial of service (like reading files on unreachable mount).
To save kernel time that can be wasted by creating those external processes, for each
domain we start a process pool of 10 processes.
This means that if we configure 10 storage domains on specific host, it starts 100 process
+ 1 process for vdsm and 1 for supervdsm.
Each operation on the domain will use one of the processes in the domain's pool.
Vdsm process is the main process that responses to API requests and manage all operations.
supervdsm is another external process to vdsm that allows vdsm to run root commands.
That's explain the 102 processes that you saw.
We try to make each process allocation small as possible, without loading unnecessary
packages.
I'll be glad to answer more specific questions about that implementation if
requested.
Regards,
Yaniv Bronhaim.

Subject: [Users] 102 VDSM processes ?
Hi,
I'm wondering why my Hyper-Visor is running 102 vdsm processes, each using
~20mb = 2GB used ?? Is this expected and normal ??
Thanks,
Alex
