Hello,

we are using same environment, Opennebula + Ceph.
Our ceph cluster is composed by 5 ceph OSD Hosts with SSD, spinning 10ktrs and 
7.2ktrs, with 10Gb/s fiber network
Each spinning OSD are associated with a db and wall devices on SSD

Nearly all our Windows VM RBD images are in a 10k/trs pool with erasure coding.
For the moment we are house about 15 VM (RDS and exchange)

What we are noting :
   - VM are far from respondig as well as on our old 10k SAN ( less than 30%)
   - RBD average Latency is oscillating between 50ms to 250ms with some peaks 
that can reach the second
   - some tests (crystal test drive) from inside the VM can show performance up 
to 700MB/s on read and 170 MB/s on write, but a single file copy barely reach 
150 MB/s and  stay at a poor 25 MB/s most of the time
   -  test on 4K rnd, show some iops performance up to 4K iops read and 2kiops 
write, but view from RDB point of view, it's like the image iops cant barely go 
over 500 iops(read+write)

Since we have to migrate our VM from the old SAN to Ceph, I am really worried, 
there is mode than 150 VMs on it, and our Ceph seems to have hard time to cope 
with 15 VMs.

I can't find accurate date and relevant calculus templates  that should permit 
me to evualate what I can expect
All the documents I've read (and I read a lot ;) ) only reports empirical 
ascertainment with "it's better", or "it's worst".
There is a lot of parameters we can tweaks like block size, striping, stripe 
size, strip count, ... but those are poorly documented, especially the relation 
between them.

I will be more than happy to work with some peoples who are in the same 
situation to try to find some solutions, methods which can help us to be sure 
of our design. And break the "make the cluster, tweak it, and maybe it will be 
fine for you". I feel that each of us ( as I read in forums and mailing list) 
are a bit lonesome. Google is a real friend, but if feel he reached its limits 
;)

Maybe my call will reach some volontee.
