Re: [ovirt-users] 10Gb Networking with OVN

Beau, have you solved your performance problem already?

Would you share what is the MTU you have set on the underlying network, and
in your VMs?

Please verify that the expected interface is used. The automatic
configuration uses ovirtmgmt to transport the data.
This can be changed manually by executing

vdsm-tool ovn-config IP_OF_OVN_CENTRAL IP_OF_LOCAL_INTERFACE

on the host.

Are you using NICs which supports GENEVE offloading?

Thanks for the hint, we are going to check this.
You are welcome to share if you have any hints about a possible
bottleneck in you scenario.

Re: [ovirt-users] 10Gb Networking with OVN

2017-12-11 Thread Beau Sapach 
Yes, we've done some testing.  With an oVirt VM running on a host using
10Gb ethernet copying data to a physical machine also using 10Gb ethernet
we don't see network utilization exceed 800Mbits or so.  A bit of research
online yields some experimentation done by others who used SR-IOV to
achieve 10Gb from a VM.

I'm not sure where the bottleneck is, possibly in the VirtIO driver.

[ovirt-users] 10Gb Networking with OVN

2017-12-07 Thread Beau Sapach 
Hello everyone,

I see here: https://www.ovirt.org/blog/2017/09/introducing-ovirt-4.2.0/
that version 4.2 will have OVN support.  Does anyone know if this will
allow VMs to take advantage of 10Gb networking without needing SR-IOV?
