Hi All,

I’m finding my write performance is less than I would have expected. After spending some considerable amount of time testing several different configurations I can never seems to break over ~360mb/s write even when using tmpfs for journaling.

So I’ve purchased 3x Dell R515’s with 1 x AMD 6C CPU with 12 x 3TB SAS & 2 x 100GB Intel DC S3700 SSD’s & 32GB Ram with the Perc H710p Raid controller and Dual Port 10GBE Network Cards.

So first up I realise the SSD’s were a mistake, I should have bought the 200GB Ones as they have considerably better write though put of ~375 Mb/s vs 200 Mb/s

So to our Nodes Configuration,

2 x 3TB disks in Raid1 for OS/MON & 1 partition for OSD, 12 Disks in a Single each in a Raid0 (like a JBOD Fashion) with a 1MB Stripe size,

(Stripe size this part was particularly important because I found the stripe size matters considerably even on a single disk raid0. contrary to what you might read on the internet)

Also each disk is configured with (write back cache) is enabled and (read head) disabled.

For Networking, All nodes are connected via LACP bond with L3 hashing and using iperf I can get up to 16gbit/s tx and rx between the nodes.

OS: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS w/ Kernel 3.10.12-031012-generic (had to upgrade kernel due to 10Gbit Intel NIC’s driver issues)

So this gives me 11 OSD’s & 2 SSD’s Per Node.


I'm a bit leery about that 1 OSD on the RAID1. It may be fine, but you definitely will want to do some investigation to make sure that OSD isn't holding the other ones back. iostat or collectl might be useful, along with the ceph osd admin socket and the dump_ops_in_flight and dump_historic_ops commands.

Next I’ve tried several different configurations which I’ll briefly describe 2 of which below,

1)Cluster Configuration 1,

33 OSD’s with 6x SSD’s as Journals, w/ 15GB Journals on SSD.

# ceph osd pool create benchmark1 1800 1800

# rados bench -p benchmark1 180 write --no-cleanup

--------------------------------------------------

Maintaining 16 concurrent writes of 4194304 bytes for up to 180 seconds or 0 objects

Total time run: 180.250417

Total writes made: 10152

Write size: 4194304

Bandwidth (MB/sec): 225.287

Stddev Bandwidth: 35.0897

Max bandwidth (MB/sec): 312

Average Latency: 0.284054

Stddev Latency: 0.199075

Max latency: 1.46791

Min latency: 0.038512

--------------------------------------------------


What was your pool replication set to?

# rados bench -p benchmark1 180 seq

-------------------------------------------------

Total time run: 43.782554

Total reads made: 10120

Read size: 4194304

Bandwidth (MB/sec): 924.569

Average Latency: 0.0691903

Max latency: 0.262542

Min latency: 0.015756

-------------------------------------------------

In this configuration I found my write performance suffers a lot to the SSD’s seem to be a bottleneck and my write performance using rados bench was around 224-230mb/s

2)Cluster Configuration 2,

33 OSD’s with 1Gbyte Journals on tmpfs.

# ceph osd pool create benchmark1 1800 1800

# rados bench -p benchmark1 180 write --no-cleanup

Definitely low, especially with journals on tmpfs. :( How are the CPUs doing at this point? We have some R515s in our lab, and they definitely are slow too. Ours have 7 OSD disks and 1 Dell branded SSD (usually unused) each and can do about ~150MB/s writes per system. It's actually a puzzle we've been trying to solve for quite some time.

Some thoughts:

Could the expander backplane be having issues due to having to tunnel STP for the SATA SSDs (or potentially be causing expander wide resets)? Could the H700 (and apparently H710) be doing something unusual that the stock LSI firmware handles better? We replaced the H700 with an Areca 1880 and definitely saw changes in performance (better large IO throughput and worse IOPS), but the performance was still much lower than in a supermicro node with no expanders in the backplane using either an LSI 2208 or Areca 1880.

Things you might want to try:

- single node tests, and if you have an alternate controller you can try, seeing if that works better. - removing the S3700s from the chassis entirely and retry the tmpfs journal tests. - Since the H710 is SAS2208 based, you may be able to use megacli to set it into JBOD mode and see if that works any better (it may if you are using SSD or tmpfs backed journals).

Total reads made: 15328

Read size: 4194304

-------------------------------------------------

Now it seems there is no bottleneck for journaling as we are using tmpfs, however still less then what I would expect write speed the sas disks are barely busy via iostat..

So I thought it might be a disk bus throughput issue.

Next I completed some dd tests…

This below is in a script dd-x.sh which executes the 11 readers or writers at once.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.0/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.1/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.2/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.3/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.4/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.5/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.6/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.7/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.8/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.9/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.10/ddfile bs=32k count=100k oflag=direct &

this gives me aggregated write throughput of around 1,135 MB/s Write.

Simular script now to test reads,

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.0/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.1/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.2/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.3/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.4/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.5/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.6/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.7/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.8/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.9/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.10/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=32k count=100k iflag=direct &

this gives me aggregated read throughput of around 1,382 MB/s Read.

Next I’ll lower the block size to show the results,

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.0/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.1/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.2/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.3/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.4/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.5/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.6/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.7/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.8/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.9/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

dd if=/dev/zero of=/srv/ceph/osd.10/ddfile bs=4k count=100k oflag=direct &

this gives me aggregated write throughput of around 300 MB/s Write.

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.0/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.1/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.2/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.3/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.4/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.5/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.6/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.7/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.8/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.9/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

dd if=/srv/ceph/osd.10/ddfile of=/dev/null bs=4k count=100k iflag=direct &

this gives me aggregated read throughput of around 430 MB/s Read,
