Hi ceph-users,
I'm actually evaluating ceph for a project and I'm getting quite low
write performances, so please if you have time reading this post and
give me some advices :)
My test setup using some free hardware we have laying in our datacenter:
Three ceph server nodes, on each one is running a monitor and two OSDs
and one client node
Hardware of a node: (supermicro stuff)
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3440 @ 2.53GHz (total of 8 logical cores)
2 x Western Digital Caviar Black 1TO (WD1003FBYX-01Y7B0)
32 GB RAM DDR3
2 x Ehernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
Hardware of the client: (A dell Blade M610)
Dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz (total of 16 logical cores)
64 GB RAM DDR3
4 x Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709S
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
2 x Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM57711
10-Gigabit PCIe
OS of the server nodes:
Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Kernel 3.10.0-031000-generic #201306301935 SMP Sun Jun 30 23:36:16 UTC
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
OS of the client node:
CentOS release 6.4
Kernel 3.10.1-1.el6xen.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 11:05:42 EST 2013 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
How I did setup the OS (server nodes):
I know this isn't good but as there is only two disk in the machine I've
partitionned the disks and used them both for the OS and the OSDs, but
well for a test run it shouldn't be that bad...
Disks layout:
partition 1: mdadm raid 1 member for the OS (30gb)
partition 2: mdadm raid 1 member for some swapspace (shouldn't be used
anyway...)
partition 3: reserved for xfs partition for OSDs
Ceph installation:
Tried both cuttlefish (0.56) and testing (0.66).
Deployed using ceph-deploy from an admin node running on a xenserver 6.2 VM.
#ceph-deploy new ceph01 ceph02 ceph03
(edited some ceph.conf stuff)
#ceph-deploy install --stable cuttlefish ceph01 ceph02 ceph03
#ceph-deploy mon create ceph01 ceph02 ceph03
#ceph-deploy gatherkeys ceph01
#ceph-deploy osd create ceph01:/dev/sda3 ceph01:/dev/sdb3
ceph02:/dev/sda3 ceph02:/dev/sdb3 ceph03:/dev/sda3 ceph03:/dev/sdb3
#ceph-deploy osd activate ceph01:/dev/sda3 ceph01:/dev/sdb3
ceph02:/dev/sda3 ceph02:/dev/sdb3 ceph03:/dev/sda3 ceph03:/dev/sdb3

Now let's do some performance testing from the client, accessing a rbd
on the cluster.
#rbd create test --size 20000
#rbd map test
raw write test (ouch something is wrong here)
#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rbd1 bs=1024k count=1000 oflag=direct
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 146.051 s, 7.2 MB/s
raw read test (this seems quite ok for a gbit network)
#dd if=/dev/rbd1 of=/dev/null bs=1024k count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 13.6368 s, 76.9 MB/s
Trying to find the bottleneck
networking testing between client and nodes (not 100% efficiency but not
that bad)

Actually I don't know what else to check.
So let me ask if that if 7.2MB/s write performance for 1024k blocks is
the expected performance for such a test setup ?
Any advice appreciated :)
Sorry for the long post, I wanted to give you enough infos for you to
have an overview of the thing.
Cheers,
Sébastien
