Hi All
it is possible to tune dom0/domU for better IO/network performance? Since I have changed to Cenots7 dom0, I have a really poor IO performance inside a PV VM.
I have already done what is described on http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Tuning_Xen_for_Performance It is better now but still significantly worse than with centos6 dom0
my settings:
xen parameter: dom0_mem=1024M cpufreq=xen dom0_max_vcpus=2 dom0_vcpus_pin
xl sched-credit Cpupool Pool-0: tslice=30ms ratelimit=1000us Name ID Weight Cap Domain-0 0 1024 0 samael 1 256 0 satan 2 512 0 amon 3 256 0 leviathan 4 512 0
echo 1048576 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_limit_output_bytes on dom0
the both domU's satan and leviathan are very IO performance oriented (NFS server and downloading vm)
Is there something more what I can do or try?
could it be a selinux issue? I have it in permissive mode there, not disabled. But permissive means only to collect the info not enforcing the rules...
(I use the xen45 pkgs)
