I'm not convinced that a backing pool can be removed from a caching
tier. I just haven't been able to get around to trying it.

Unfortunately we are not in control of the VMs using this pool, so
something like "sync -> stop VM -> incremental sync -> start VM on new
pool" would be extremely complicated. I _think_ it's possible to
misuse a cache tier to do this (add a cache tier, remove the
underlying tier, add a new pool and remove cache tier), but that's a
hack at best.

So before we go even considering this - will there be any significant
gains from this? When we increased the PG numbers it had a very
positive effect on the cluster, but with only 1/3 of the drives I am
worried there will be too much contention on the OSDs. I've already
seen a higher CPU usage and while some latency metrics went down
thanks to the new Intel drives, other metrics went up of course, so
I'm not sure how it will perform in the real life...

We are in a situation where we need to decrease PG for a pool as well.
One thought is to live migrate with block copy to a new pool with the
right number of PGs and then once they are all moved delete the old
pool. We don't have a lot of data in that pool yet, that may not be
feasible for you.

Hi,
we're in the process of changing 480G drives for 1200G drives, which
should cut the number of OSDs I have roughly to 1/3.

My largest "volumes" pool for OpenStack volumes has 16384 PGs at the
moment and I have 36K PGs in total. That equals to ~180 PGs/OSD and
would become ~500 PG/s OSD.

I know I can't actually decrease the number of PGs in a pool, and I'm
wondering if it's worth working around to decrease the numbers? It is
possible I'll be expanding the storage in the future, but probably not
3-fold.

I think it's not worth bothering with and I'll just have to disable
the "too many PGs per OSD" warning if I upgrade.

I already put some new drives in and the OSDs seem to work fine
(though I had to restart them after backfilling - they were spinning
CPU for no apparent reason).

Your thoughts?

Thanks
Jan
