Nick, what do you think about Infiniband? I have read that with Infiniband the latency is at 1,2us It’s great, but I don’t believe the Ceph support for RDMA is finished yet, so you are stuck using IPoIB, which has similar performance to 10G Ethernet. For now concentrate on removing latency where you easily can (3.5+ Ghz CPU’s, NVME journals) and then when stuff like RDMA comes along, you will be in a better place to take advantage of it.

Ceph will be a lot slower as you are replacing a 30cm SAS/SATA cable with networking, software and also doing replication. You have at least 2 network hops with Ceph.

This perfectly demonstrates the effects of latency serialisation. I think there must be something wrong or not? No, not really, that is an average number of IOP’s for a Ceph benchmark. With very fast CPU’s, NVME and tuning, you can maybe double it though. It would be a dream if i had 30-40 MByte/s at 4K with this ssd with the rados bench test. Sorry, not going to happen, there is too much latency involved to even get anywhere near that figure. Maybe when persistent RBD caching is available you might be able to hit this. And also if i would get the purely cfs performance 19,3 MByte/s with rados would be very good. Still way off. You would need write latency of around 200us to be able to reach this figure, you currently have something near 2000us. You are talking about a 10x improvement. 2000us = 2ms But my latency is with a ping (from mon-1 to mon-2 and from mon1 to mon3) (My Mon Server are mon and ceph data servers the same in this test with the ssd's): root@ceph-mon-1:~# ping ceph-mon-2 PING ceph-mon-2 (10.250.250.6) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ceph-mon-2 (10.250.250.6): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.151 ms 64 bytes from ceph-mon-2 (10.250.250.6): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.205 ms 64 bytes from ceph-mon-2 (10.250.250.6): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.214 ms 64 bytes from ceph-mon-2 (10.250.250.6): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.212 ms ^C --- ceph-mon-2 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2997ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.151/0.195/0.214/0.029 ms root@ceph-mon-1:~# ping ceph-mon-3 PING ceph-mon-3 (10.250.250.7) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from ceph-mon-3 (10.250.250.7): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.198 ms 64 bytes from ceph-mon-3 (10.250.250.7): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.203 ms 64 bytes from ceph-mon-3 (10.250.250.7): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.220 ms I use replication =3 so if the performance is only the half of 19,3 MByte/s would be ok. But why so slow? Think about it, every IO has to: 1. Travel across the network to the 1st Ceph node 2. Be processed by Ceph 3. Then travel to the 2nd and 3rd nodes 4. Be processed by them 5. Then an Ack travels back to the 1st node 6. Before finally the ack traveling back to the client Your 10G latency is probably somewhere around 100us, so a minimum of 200us before you even take into account the processing Ceph has to do. Okay we see around 200us before is beeing processed by ceph thats correct. But why is ceph in processing so slow? You see in the rados bench an avg latency of 0.00162s = 1620us minus the 200us 10G latency = 1420us time processing by ceph?? Ok, so you ping hops are actually nearer 200us, so ~400us of just network latency when doing replication. Yes, Ceph does add some latency and what you are seeing is about right for a untuned cluster, but as I mentioned with fast CPU’s and some tuning, you can get this down to about 500us. But either way you will struggle to get much above 1500iops at QD=1 with Ceph. That at the moment is the ceiling. Now compare this to a write IO going across a SAS bus, the whole operation will probably take less than ~10-20us I can not understand where the problem is. Must i set enhanced parameters in my ceph.conf? Everything is nearly default at my test cluster. Try: 1. Setting your max CPU cstate to 1 2. Setting your CPU frequency to Max 3. Setting all debug logging to 0 in Ceph This might give you a 25-50% boost if you are lucky. Full 10 GBit/s network.

But: why do you Not use a simple for example Areca Raid Controller with 8 gb Cache and Bbu ontop in every ceph node. Configure n Times RAID 0 on the Controller and enable Write back Cache. That must be a latency "Killer" like in all the prop. Storage arrays or Not ?? Best Regards !! What we saw specifically with Areca cards is that performance is excellent in benchmarking and for bursty loads. However, once we started loading with more constant workloads (we replicate databases and files to our Ceph cluster), this looks to have saturated the relatively small Areca NVDIMM caches and we went back to pure drive based performance. Yes, I think that is a valid point. Although low latency, you are still having to write to the disks twice (journal+data), so once the cache’s on the cards start filling up, you are going to hit problems. So we built 8 new nodes with no Arecas, M500 SSDs for journals (1 SSD per 3 HDDs) in hopes that it would help reduce the noisy neighbor impact. That worked, but now the overall latency is really high at times, not always. Red Hat engineer suggested this is due to loading the 7200 rpm NL-SAS drives with too many IOPS, which get their latency sky high. Overall we are functioning fine, but I sure would like storage vmotion and other large operations faster. Yeah this is the biggest pain point I think. Normal VM ops are fine, but if you ever have to move a multi-TB VM, it’s just too slow. If you use iscsi with vaai and are migrating a thick provisioned vmdk, then performance is actually quite good, as the block sizes used for the copy are a lot bigger. However, my use case required thin provisioned VM’s + snapshots and I found that using iscsi you have no control over the fragmentation of the vmdk’s and so the read performance is then what suffers (certainly with 7.2k disks) Also with thin provisioned vmdk’s I think I was seeing PG contention with the updating of the VMFS metadata, although I can’t be sure. I am thinking I will test a few different schedulers and readahead settings to see if we can improve this by parallelizing reads. Also will test NFS, but need to determine whether to do krbd/knfsd or something more interesting like CephFS/Ganesha. As you know I’m on NFS now. I’ve found it a lot easier to get going and a lot less sensitive to making config adjustments without suddenly everything dropping offline. The fact that you can specify the extent size on XFS helps massively with using thin vmdks/snapshots to avoid fragmentation. Storage v-motions are a bit faster than iscsi, but I think I am hitting PG contention when esxi tries to write 32 copy threads to the same object. There is probably some tuning that could be done here (RBD striping???) but this is the best it’s been for a long time and I’m reluctant to fiddle any further. But as mentioned above, thick vmdk’s with vaai might be a really good fit. Any chance thin vs. thick difference could be related to discards? I saw zillions of them in recent testing. I was using FILEIO and so discard weren’t working for me. I know fragmentation was definitely the cause of the small reads. The VMFS metadata I’m less sure of, but it seemed the most likely cause as it only effected write performance the 1st time round. Thanks for your very valuable info on analysis and hw build.
