Hi Frank,
it's pretty straightforward. Just follow the steps:
apt install tuned
tuned-adm profile network-latency
According to [1]:
network-latency
A server profile focused on lowering network latency.
This profile favors performance over power savings by setting
|intel_pstate| and |min_perf_pct=100|. It disables transparent huge
pages, and automatic NUMA balancing. It also uses *cpupower* to set
the |performance| cpufreq governor, and requests a
/|cpu_dma_latency|/ value of |1|. It also sets /|busy_read|/ and
/|busy_poll|/ times to |50| μs, and /|tcp_fastopen|/ to |3|.

Cheers.

Hi Stefan,
can you provide a link to or copy of the contents of the tuned-profile so others can also profit from it?
Thanks!

Subject: Re: How network latency affects ceph performance really with NVME only storage?
Hi Anthony and others,
thank you for your reply. To be honest, I'm not even looking for a
solution, i just wanted to ask if latency affects the performance at all
in my case and how others handle this ;)
One of our partners delivered a solution with a latency-optimized
profile for tuned-daemon. Now the latency is much better:
apt install tuned
tuned-adm profile network-latency

Check the netmask on your interfaces, is it possible that you're sending inter-node traffic up and back down needlessly?

Dear Users,
i recently setup a new ceph 3 node cluster. Network is meshed between all nodes (2 x 25G with DAC).
Storage is flash only (Kioxia 3.2 TBBiCS FLASH 3D TLC, KCMYXVUG3T20)
The latency with ping tests between the nodes shows:

On another cluster i have much better values, with 10G SFP+ and fibre-cables:

If i want best performance, does the latency difference matter at all? Should i change DAC to SFP-transceivers wwith fibre-cables to improve overall ceph performance or is this nitpicking?
Thanks a lot.
