Hi, We are setting up a drbd system use for XEN virtualization. The performance we tested on VM is not ideal. The setup is like this XEN+DRBD+LVM+SOFTWARE RAID 1. Is anyone have this similar setup? What performance you can achive? Here are the details of our setup: Hardware: CPU : Intel Core i7 3770 CPU RAM : 32GB Hard Drive : 2 x 2TB SATA3 Western Digital Hard Drive, Software RAID 1 setup NIC : 2 Intel Gigabit Pro 1000CT PCIe. One is dedicate to DRBD direct link (cross over) Software: Ubuntu 12.04 for the host. Centos 6.3 for the guest vm (Para virtualize) . DRBD 8.4.3 Xen 4.1 drbd.conf : global { usage-count no; } common { protocol C; startup { degr-wfc-timeout 60; wfc-timeout 30; } net { allow-two-primaries; ### For Primary/Primary ### after-sb-0pri discard-zero-changes; after-sb-1pri violently-as0p; after-sb-2pri violently-as0p; sndbuf-size 0; } syncer { rate 100M; verify-alg sha1; } } resource c6pv153 { disk /dev/vmVg/c6pv153; device /dev/drbd1; meta-disk internal; on server1 { address 10.0.0.1:7789; } on server2 { address 10.0.0.2:7789; } } dd command use for the test: dd bs=1M count=1024 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync The dd result we can get is around 30MB/s - 34MB/s If we run the test on the host in DRBD + LVM partition. We could get 75MB/s - 78MB/s Is there any way we can improve it without adding/changing hardward? I saw someone using this kind of setup XEN+LVM+DRBD+SOFTWARE RAID 1, will that make any different?
