Hi.

Basic
[global]                                                                                                                                             
fsid = 0612cc7e-6239-456c-978b-b4df781fe831
mon initial members = ceph-1,ceph-2,ceph-3
mon host = 10.0.0.15,10.0.0.16,10.0.0.17
osd pool default size = 2
osd pool default pg num = 1024
osd pool default pgp num = 1024

RDMA

Hi Deepak.

Thansk your reply,

I try to use gperf to profile the ceph-osd with basic mode (without RDMA) and you can see the result in the following link.

In the gperf result, we can see the whole CPU usage can divided into three significant part, (Network: 36%, FileStore: 17% PG related:29%).
Do you have any idea about this?

Thanks.

Yes, kernel should have comparatively free cycles when using RDMA over TCP

>>does it means host can provide more CPU for other processing, such as Disk I/O ?

This can be subjective, bcos let's say u have an IO process which takes 10 mins over TCP then when using RDMA it might be 3 mins as your CPU cycles are less used by RDMA but if ur application process which provides the RDMA functionality might have processing cycles as well, which might use CPU cycles as well, example client or fuse plugins on the host getting it ?
