Wow 34K ios 4k iodetph 1 😊 How many nodes, ssd#s and what network? I can't find any firmware for the lsi card anymore...

(no extra journals) Sorry I am not fully aware of what has been already discussed in this thread. But can't you flash these LSI logic cards to jbod? I have done this with my 9207 with sas2flash. I have attached my fio test of the Micron 5100 Pro/5200 SSDs MTFDDAK1T9TCC. They perform similar to my samsung sm863a 1,92TB. Only thing weird, is that the rw-4k is 3x slower on the micron. -----Original Message----- To: 'Reed Dier' Cc: 'ceph-users@ceph.io' Subject: [ceph-users] Re: Can 16 server grade ssd's be slower then 60 hdds? (no extra journals) Thank you. I was working in this direction. The situation is a lot better. But I think I can get still far better. I could set the controller to writethrough, direct and no read ahead for the ssds. But I cannot disable the pdcache ☹ there is an option set in the controller "Block SSD Write Disk Cache Change = Yes" which does not permit to deactivate the ssd cache. I could not find any solution in google for this controller (LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i) to change this setting. I don’t know how much performance gain it will be to deactivate the ssd cache. At least the micron 5200max has capacitor so I hope it is safe for data loss in case if power failure. I wrote a request to lsi / Broadcom if they know how I can change this setting. This is really annyoing. I will check the cpu power settings. I rode also somewhere it can improve iops a lot. (if its bad set) At the moment I get 600iops 4k random write 1 thread and 1 iodepth. I get 40K - 4k random iops for some instances with 32iodepth. Its not the world but a lot better then before. Read around 100k iops. For 16 ssd's and 2 x dual 10G nic. I was reading that good tunings and hardware config can get more then 2000 iops on single thread out of the ssds. I know thet ceph does not shine with single thread. But 600 iops is not very much... philipp -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Reed Dier <reed.d...@focusvq.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 01.

(no extra journals) If using storcli/perccli for manipulating the LSI controller, you can disable the on-disk write cache with: storcli /cx/vx set pdcache=off You can also ensure that you turn off write caching at the controller level with storcli /cx/vx set iopolicy=direct storcli /cx/vx set wrcache=wt You can also tweak the readahead value for the vd if you want, though with an ssd, I don't think it will be much of an issue. storcli /cx/vx set rdcache=nora I'm sure the megacli alternatives are available with some quick searches. May also want to check your c-states and p-states to make sure there isn't any aggressive power saving features getting in the way.

And the performance is little slower or equal to the 60 hdd pool. 4K random as also sequential reads. All on dedicated 2 times 10G Network. HDDS are still on filestore. SSD on bluestore.
