Re: Super Low VM disk IO via Shared Storage
Why don't you try with 4096 ? Most block devices have a blcok size of 4096 and anything bellow is slowing them down. Best Regards, Strahil NikolovOn Sep 24, 2019 17:40, Amit Bawer <abawer@redhat.com> wrote:

Dear oVirt,
I have executed some tests regarding IO disk speed on the VMs, running on shared storage and local storage in oVirt.
Results of the tests on local storage domains:

Why is it so low? Is there anything I can do to tune, configure VDSM or other service to speed this up?
Any advice is appreciated.
Shared storage is based on Netapp with 20Gbps LACP path from Hypervisor to Netapp volume, and set to MTU 9000. Used protocol is NFS4.0.
oVirt is 4.3.4.3 SHE.

Dear all, I very much appreciate all help and suggestions so far. Today I will send the test results and current mount settings for NFS4. Our production setup is using Netapp based NFS server. I am surprised with results from Tony’s test. We also have one setup with Gluster based NFS, and I will run tests on those as well.

Hi oVirt gurus, Thank s to Tony, who pointed me into discovery process, the performance of the IO seems greatly dependent on the flags. [root@lgu215 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.img bs=512 count=100000 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 51200000 bytes (51 MB) copied, 0.108962 s, 470 MB/s [root@lgu215 ~]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.img bs=512 count=100000 oflag=dsync 100000+0 records in 100000+0 records out 51200000 bytes (51 MB) copied, 322.314 s, 159 kB/s Dsync flag tells dd to ignore all buffers, cache except certain kernel buffers and write data physically to the disc, before writing further. According to number of sites I looked at, this is the way to test Server Latency in regards to IO operations. Difference in performance is huge, as you can see (below I have added results from tests with 4k and 8k block) Still, certain software component we run tests with writes data in this/similar way, which is why I got this complaint in the first place. Here is my current NFS mount settings: rw,relatime,vers=4.0,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,soft,nosharecache,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=6,sec=sys,clientaddr=172.17.28.11,local_lock=none,addr=172.17.28.5 If you have any suggestions on possible NFS tuning options, to try to increase performance, I would highly appreciate it. Can someone tell me how to change NFS mount options in oVirt for already existing/used storage? Test results with 4096 and 8192 byte size.

Dsync flag tells dd to ignore all buffers, cache except certain kernel buffers and write data physically to the disc, before writing further.

Taking into account your network configured MTU [1] and Linux version [2], you can tune wsize, rsize mount options. Editing mount options can be done from Storage->Domains->Manage Domain menu. [1] https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2440411 [2] https://access.redhat.com/solutions/753853

Dear all,
I very much appreciate all help and suggestions so far.
Today I will send the test results and current mount settings for NFS4. Our production setup is using Netapp based NFS server.
I am surprised with results from Tony’s test.
We also have one setup with Gluster based NFS, and I will run tests on those as well.
