Hi, I've added ubuntu 20.04 nodes to my ceph octopus 15.2.17 baremetal deployed cluster next to the centos 8 nodes and I see something interesting regarding the disk usage, it is higher on ubuntu than on centos, however the cpu usage is lower (on this picture you can see 4 nodes, each column is 1 node, the last column is the ubuntu): https://i.ibb.co/Tk5Srk6/image-2023-09-04-09-55-52-311.png Could this be because of the missing HPC tuned profile on ubuntu 20.04? On ubuntu 20.04 there isn't any HPC tuned profile, I've used the latency-performance one which is the base of the HPC: This is the latency performance: [main] summary=Optimize for deterministic performance at the cost of increased power consumption [cpu] force_latency=1 governor=performance energy_perf_bias=performance min_perf_pct=100 [sysctl] kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=10000000 vm.dirty_ratio=10 vm.dirty_background_ratio=3 vm.swappiness=10 kernel.sched_migration_cost_ns=5000000 The hpc tuned profile has these additional values on centos and on ubuntu 22.04: [main] summary=Optimize for HPC compute workloads description=Configures virtual memory, CPU governors, and network settings for HPC compute workloads. include=latency-performance [vm] transparent_hugepages=always [disk] readahead=>4096 [sysctl] vm.hugepages_treat_as_movable=0 vm.min_free_kbytes=135168 vm.zone_reclaim_mode=1 kernel.numa_balancing=0 net.core.busy_read=50 net.core.busy_poll=50 net.ipv4.tcp_fastopen=3 If someone is very god with these kernel parameter values, do you see something that might be related to the high disk utilization? Thank you [https://i.ibb.co/Tk5Srk6/image-2023-09-04-09-55-52-311.png] ________________________________ From: Milind Changire <mchangir@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 7, 2023 11:38 PM To: Szabo, Istvan (Agoda) <Istvan.Szabo@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ceph Users <ceph-users@xxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Is it safe to add different OS but same ceph version to the existing cluster?

The binary bits could be different due to better compiler support on the newer OS version. So assuming the new ceph is deployed on the same hardware platform things should be stable. Also, assuming that relevant OS tunables and ceph features and config options have been configured to match the older deployment, the new ceph deployment should just work fine and as expected. Saying all this, I'd still recommend to test out the move one node at a time rather than executing a bulk move. Making a list of types of devices and checking driver support on the new OS would also be a prudent thing to do. ________________________________ This message is confidential and is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).
