Hi all,

I think I found the solution on yesterday. The host which causes the CPU 
problems is in a cluster
where the KSM option is activate. Someone here must have check it.

I disable KSM on the cluster, disable NUMA and CPU pass through in the vm 
parameters, and no more high CPU usage by migration thread. Hope this solution 
can help someone else !

Styve

Hi,

We’ve got a problem with a critical machine which running Oracle Database and 
if someone can help us it would be very nice.

Our VM is running rhel 6.5 and is configuring with 16 cores (2 virtual socket 
with 8 virtual cores) and 240Gb.

This virtual machine is running perfectly on the first host R620 : two cpu 
E5-2695 v2 - 12 cores on each cpu -  and 384Gb of memory.

We wan’t to move this virtual machine on a new server, Transtec with two  
E5-2650 v3 – 10 cores on each cpu – and 256Gb of memory. We have encountered 
high cpu usage on this host.

Both servers are running centOS 7.2 and ovirt 3.6. We have already identified 
that on the node, many « migrate/N » are causing high cpu usage.

We have tried few options :

-       Pass-Through Host CPU

-       Configure NUMA : numa node count = 2, numa pinning
The first day the machine was running, everything is ok and migrate threads 
disapeared, but on the second day, high cpu and migration thread were back. 
Oracle services are being restarted everyday for cold backup but not the 
virtual machines.

I don’t know if looking in the Numa options is a good idea and I don’t why the 
everything is running ok on the R620 (perhaps the available memory)

Thank you for your advices.

Styve

Hi Styve,
Pass-Through Host CPU is irrelevant unless you have a specific CPU flag you 
need to utilize.
So I suggest you refrain from using it.
As for NUMA, it works well as long as it's not interleaving. Here as well you  
should use it only
if you understand how it should be used. Otherwise the safe option for you is 
vCPU pinning.
Can you please check your logs to see who is creating these threads and share 
it?
