Thread: slow replication speed 10G

  1. #1

    Default slow replication speed 10G

    6 volumes each with 4000GB

    replicating over a CX4 - 10G direct connect

    Each of those 6 replication only runs at 41668 kB/s (72340 kB/s)

    This is shocking. Any tips?

    MTU for the interface has been set to 15000

    What kind of hard disks and how many hard disks are you using? Which raid lvl? H/W Raid or S/W raid?

    Some additional infos might be good for a us to see if youre performance is competitive.
    How many MB/s did you choose for each replication task?

    You have a combined Speed of 300MB per Second. For me it seems, that the raid is the bottleneck. Please check Write cache. ( Controller and HDD)

    write cache is enabled for both raid controller and HDD

    Please take note that the HDD is 3G/s spec.

    If i am getting 300MB/sec ... i think that sounds about right ... but does it matter if I have 16 disks (spindles) thus the speed should be higher considering it is dedicated 10G link?

    Yes the HDD is 3GB/s spec.
    But a single HDD will never do it.

    You have 16 disk with RAID6. I think 300 MB/s is not so bad. Should be a little bit more. May be up to 500MB/s.

    Is the read Cache enabled?
    Is the write mode, Write back or Write through.
