RE: Guest performance is reduced after live migration

I used lmbench, and even simple test shows the difference here. Simple read/writes (but not open/close?) seem to take much longer. Perhaps this over simplifies things, but it's repeatable. Any thoughts? Other tests that might be interesting? ubuntu-12.04 - first boot =

I don't think it's related to huge pages... I was using phoronix-test-suite to run benchmarks. The 'batch/compilation' group shows the slowdown for all tests, the 'batch/computation' show some performance degradation, but not nearly as significant. You could probably easily test this way witho

Can you describe more details of the test you are performing? If transparent hugepages are being used then there is the possibility that there has been no time for khugepaged to back guest memory with huge pages, in the destination (don't recall the interface for retrieving number of hugepages f

Hello KVM, I'm seeing something similar to this (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/100592) as well when doing live migrations on Ubuntu 12.04 (Host and Guest) with a backported libvirt 1.0 and qemu-kvm 1.2 (improved performance for live migrations on guests with large memo

Hello. I have a problem with the performance of the guest Linux after live migration. When I analyze the file I/O latency of the guest using LMbench3, the latency of the guest on the destination host is about 2 times bigger than the guest on the source host. As a result that I investigated it, thi
