output discards (queue drops) on switchport

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

 



Hello,

I have a fresh Proxmox installation on 5 servers (Supermciro X10SRW-F, Xeon
E5-1660 v4, 128 GB RAM) with each 8 Samsung SSD SM863 960GB connected to a
LSI-9300-8i (SAS3008) controller used as OSDs for Ceph (12.1.2)

The servers are connected to two Arista DCS-7060CX-32S switches. I'm using
MLAG bond (bondmode LACP, xmit_hash_policy layer3+4, MTU 9000):
 * backend network for Ceph: cluster network & public network
   Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx dual-port 25 GBit/s
 * frontend network: Intel Corporation 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ dual-port

Ceph is quite a default installation with size=3.

My problem:
I'm issuing a dd (dd if=/dev/urandom of=urandom.0 bs=10M count=1024) in a test
virtual machine (the only one running in the cluster) with arround 210 MB/s. I
get output drops on all switchports. The drop rate is between 0.1 - 0.9 %. The
drop rate of 0.9 % is reached when writing with about 1300MB/s into ceph.

First I thought about a problem with the Mellanox cards and used the Intel
cards for ceph traffic. The problem also exists.

I tried quite a lot and nothing help:
 * changed the MTU from 9000 to 1500
 * changed bond_xmit_hash_policy from layer3+4 to layer2+3
 * deactivated the bond and just used a single link
 * disabled offloading
 * disabled power management in BIOS
 * perf-bias 0

I analyzed the traffic via tcpdump and got some of those "errors":
 * TCP Previous segment not captured
 * TCP Out-of-Order
 * TCP Retransmission
 * TCP Fast Retransmission
 * TCP Dup ACK
 * TCP ACKed unseen segment
 * TCP Window Update

Is that behaviour normal for ceph or has anyone ideas how to solve that
problem with the output drops at switch-side

With iperf I can reach full 50 GBit/s on the bond with zero output drops.
