Hi,
Posted this on IRC just now, but was recommended to try another
approach.
I'm wondering if the locks/sec rate I'm seeing between two virtual
machines is what I should expect - details below:
I've got a 2-node cluster that is actually two KVM VMs (Fedora 14 in
the guests/vms). Between the two VM's, I'm sharing - iSCSI based
external array using virtio_net drivers in the guests/vms - two GFS2
file systems. After setting <dlm> and <gfs_controld> as listed below
in cluster.conf (and, of course, rebooting the whole cluster), I'm
still only seeing 600-650 locks/sec when using the ping_pong
utility.
<dlm plock_ownership="1" plock_rate_limit="0" protocol="sctp"/>
<gfs_controld plock_rate_limit="0"/>
The same settings & configuration on the physical hosts (a separate
cluster, but using the same iSCSI array) is seeing 5.5-6K locks/sec.
I'm also curious as to why, when starting ping_pong on the
virtualized
node1, I see ~20-40K locks/sec, but if I start and then stop
ping_pong
on the virtualized node2, node1 never returns to anything close to
the
20-40K locks/sec. Is that (also) expected?
Did you have the second node mounted when you got the faster locking
rates on the first node?
Yes, both nodes mounted (before and after starting ping_pong on the 2nd
node, no umount inbetween)
