Hi Salsa, More information about your Ceph cluster and VMware infrastructure is pretty much required. What Ceph version? Ceph cluster info - i.e. how many Monitors, OSD hosts, iSCIS gateways and are these components HW or VMs? Do the Ceph components meet recommended hardware levels for CPU, RAM, HDs (Flash or spinners)? Basic Ceph stats like "ceph osd tree" and "ceph df" What VMware version? Software or Hardware iSCSI on the VMW side? What's the Storage network speed and are thing like jumbo frames set? In general, 3 OSD hosts is the bare minimum for ceph so you're going to get minimum performance.

I deined a 3 replica rbd pool and some images and presented them to a Vmware host via ISCSI, but the write performance is so bad the I managed to freeze a VM doing a big rsync to a datastore inside ceph and had to reboot it's host (seems I've filled up Vmware's ISCSI queue). Right now I'm getting write latencies from 20ms to 80 ms (per OSD) and sometimes peaking at 600 ms (per OSD). Client throughput is giving me around 4 MBs. Using a 4MB stripe 1 image I got 1.955..359 B/s inside the VM. On a 1MB stripe 1 I got 2.323.206 B/s inside the same VM. I think the performance is way too slow, much more than should be and that I can fix this by correcting some configuration.
