GFS and performace

[Paras pradhan <pradhanparas@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a GFS based shared storage cluster that connects to SAN by fibre channel. This GFS shared storage hold several virtual machines. While running hdparam from the host to a GFS share, I get following results.

--

hdparm -t /guest_vms1

/dev/mapper/test_vg1-prd_vg1_lv:

Timing buffered disk reads:  262 MB in  3.00 seconds =  87.24 MB/sec

---

Now from within the virtual machines, the I/O is low

---

hdparm -t /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 

/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00:

 Timing buffered disk reads:   88 MB in  3.00 seconds =  29.31 MB/sec

---

I am looking for possibilities if I can increase my I/O read write within my virtual machines. Tuning GFS does help in this case?

Sorry if my question is not relevant to this list

Thanks

Paras.
