Hello lists, on a dual Xeon KVM Host i get max 6000 IOP/s random 4k writes AND reads. On a Single Xeon KVM Host i get 17.000-18.000 IOP/s write and read. I already tried to pin the kvm process using numactl and also the fio process but it doesn't help on the dual xeon. 10GBE Network is fine. I get 9.8Gbit/s on both hosts. Kernel is also he same on both. Anybody an idea?
When you say KVM host, do you mean the underlying node or the virtual machine instance?
If you mean underlying node, it could be remote memory access or if you are on a last gen xeon if you have dual io hubs, you could be hitting a remote io hub for the network card. I wouldn't think that would cause such a big hit, but those are things to look into.
If you mean that a single Xeon VM instance on a dual Xeon node is faster than a dual Xeon VM instance, I'm not really sure what to tell you since you've already tried pinning the processes.
