Glusterfs setup+benchmark (slow?)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

Trying to get som idea of the performance of a glusterfs setup. 
I'm not very happy with the numbers I have got from my tests.
I would like to check with you folks and see if my setup/numbers
looks correct...

The setup consists of 3 glusterfs servers using 1G RAM
(boot param mem=1024M) 
 
Hw setup (3 server 1 client):
------------------------------
 - 2 x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420  @ 2.50GHz (8 cores)
 - Intel Corporation 80003ES2LAN Gigabit Ethernet Controller
 - ATA-7: ST380815AS, 3.AAD, max UDMA/133


Versions used:
---------------
 glusterfs: glusterfs-1.3.8pre5
 fuse: fuse-2.7.2glfs9
 CentOS: 5


Local disk timings (hdparm -Tt):
--------------------------------
 Timing cached reads:   24636 MB in  1.99 seconds = 12353.07 MB/sec


Network Throughput:
-------------------
Recv   Send    Send                          
Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed

Server config:
------------------------------------------------------
volume brick
  type storage/posix
  option directory /data/export
end-volume

volume brick-ns
  type storage/posix
  option directory /data/export-ns
end-volume

volume server
  type protocol/server
  option transport-type tcp/server
  option auth.ip.brick.allow *
  option auth.ip.brick-ns.allow *
  subvolumes brick brick-ns
end-volume
------------------------------------------------------


Client config (unify):
------------------------------------------------------
volume remote1
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 10.10.10.164
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume

volume remote2
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 10.10.10.197
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume

volume remote3
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 10.10.10.46
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume

end-volume

volume unify0
  type cluster/unify
  option scheduler rr
  option namespace remote-ns
  subvolumes remote1 remote2 remote3
end-volume
------------------------------------------------------


Client config (stripe):
------------------------------------------------------
volume remote1
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 10.10.10.164
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume

volume remote2
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 10.10.10.197
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume

volume remote3
  type protocol/client
  option transport-type tcp/client
  option remote-host 10.10.10.46
  option remote-subvolume brick
end-volume

volume stripe
   type cluster/stripe
   option block-size *:1MB
   subvolumes remote1 remote2 remote3
 end-volume
------------------------------------------------------

These simple tests was made with dd and in the case
with 3 concurrent processes first 3 concurrent write
and then 3 concurrent write.

# End of tests


What do you think? Do my numbers and setup look sane?
