[ovirt-users] Re: Issues when Creating a Gluster Brick with Cache

2019-06-26 Thread Strahil
The cache will not take immediately into effect. It is designed to save your 
cache disk and to load only repetitive data.
Try to run your  benchmark 20 times and you will notice slight improvement over 
reading the same object.

Of course , you can use lvm cache in writethrough mode, but then it is 
recommended to use 2 cache disks (raid1 or lvm mirroring) .

So i created the brick without the cache an add the cache doing the commands 
below; but it appers it's not working because I see no improvement in the 
benchmarks. 

pvcreate /dev/md/VMStorageHot
vgextend RHGS_vg_VMStorage /dev/md/VMStorageHot
lvcreate -L 1500G -n lv_cache RHGS_vg_VMStorage /dev/md/VMStorageHot
lvcreate -L 100M -n lv_cache_meta RHGS_vg_VMStorage /dev/md/VMStorageHot
lvconvert --type cache-pool --cachemode writeback --poolmetadata

 Did you blacklist in /etc/multipath.conf all local disks ?In other words, when 
you run 'lsblk' do you see hte disk to have a child device (usually the wwid) ?

 Hey Everyone,

When in the server manager and creating a brick from the storage device the 
brick will fail whenever i attach a cache device to it.

I'm not really sure why? It just says unknown.

The brick creation flow uses ansible roles to create the bricks and the
logs are at /var/log/ovirt-engine/brick-setup/
Can you take a look at ansible logs?
