GFS performance issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



 Two web servers, both virtualized with CentOS Xen servers as host
(residing on two different physical servers). 
GFS used to store home directories containing web document roots.

Shared block device used by GFS is an ISCSI target with the ISCSI
initiator residing on the Dom-0, and presented to Dom-U webservers as
drives.
Also, providing a second shared block device for quorum disk.

If I hit the web site on just one of the nodes, it behaves as expected. 
If I try to load the websites from both nodes at the same time (two web
browser instances), the load average on both nodes spikes, and page
loads very slowly.  The site I am trying to host is very high traffic,
and if the servers can be nearly brought to there knees with two web
browser instances running on a single workstation, that's not going to work.

I am not seeing any error messages in the logs regarding the cluster.

Any help or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue would be
greatly appreciated.
