[ovirt-users] high number of IOPS from ovirt hosts

[Andrea Ghelardi]

Andrea,
Among other advices, I would also suggest you to re-deploy an host without make it an host-engine node.
It may be worth checking if HE service is responsible of so many IOPS as it was in my case.
Ciao

Thanks for the heads up, I'll take a look at Mark's thread.
We are presenting 2 storage LUNs to a single ovirt cluster and yes, all hosts are hosted engine hosts.

Thanks,
Andrea
