Re: How to tune Ceph RBD mirroring parameters to speed up replication

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

 



For better or worse, out of the box, librbd and rbd-mirror are
configured to conserve memory at the expense of performance to support
the potential case of thousands of images being mirrored and only a
single "rbd-mirror" daemon attempting to handle the load.

You can optimize writes by adding "rbd_journal_max_payload_bytes =
8388608" to the "[client]" section on the librbd client nodes.
Normally, writes larger than 16KiB are broken into multiple journal
entries to allow the remote "rbd-mirror" daemon to make forward
progress w/o using too much memory, so this will ensure large IOs only
require a single journal entry.

You can also add "rbd_mirror_journal_max_fetch_bytes = 33554432" to
the "[client]" section on the "rbd-mirror" daemon nodes and restart
the daemon for the change to take effect. Normally, the daemon tries
to nibble the per-image journal events to prevent excessive memory use
in the case where potentially thousands of images are being mirrored.

The two clusters are very close, just in two buildings about 20m away, and the networking is very good as well, 10Gb Fiber connection. In this case, how should i tune the relevant RBD mirroring parameters to accelerate the replication?
