Not sure if anyone was still following this but the fix ended up being updating the Ovirt Virt Hosts to v4.2

All volumes are configured as replica 3. I have no arbiter volumes. Storage hosts are for storage only and Virt hosts are dedicated Virt hosts. I've checked throughput from the Virt hosts to all 3 gluster hosts and am getting ~9Gb/s.On Tue, Feb 27, 2018 at 1:33 AM, Alex K <rightkicktech@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:What is your gluster setup?

The Idrac processor is a stand alone cpu with its own nic and runs independent of the main CPU.
That being said it does have visibility into the whole system.
try using dmidecode to compare the systems and take a close look at the raid controllers and what size and form of cache they have.

I've tested about 12 different Dell servers. Ony a couple of them have Idrac express and all the others have Idrac Enterprise. All the boxes with Enterprise perform poorly and the couple that have express perform well. I use the disks in raid mode on all of them. I've tried a few non-Dell boxes and they all perform well even though some of them are very old. I've also tried disabling Idrac, the Idrac nic, virtual storage for Idrac with no sucess..

I don't think it is related with iDRAC itself but some configuration
is wrong or there is some hw error.
Did you check battery of raid controller? Do you use disks in jbod
mode or raid mode?
