Re: [libvirt] [libvirt-users] Host OS, Storage Info

Martin, et al, Sorry for the lag in response. So I started playing with the various virsh commands. Awesome. Been doing some reading and I believe I have some things configured not so well. As I stated earlier in the thread, we have all of the VM image files on one RAID5. Very fast machine. When using top, the load average is a stable "5.xx". No I/O wait. GB's of free memory. Swap has not been touched. Using vmstat, I am writing to the RAID5 volume at a constant 150MB/s and reading at a constant 275MB/s. With all of that said, here are some results from virsh commands: # virsh pool-list --all Name State Autostart ------------------------------------------------------ default active yes # virsh pool-info default Name: default UUID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx State: running Persistent: yes Autostart: yes Capacity: 30.76 GiB Allocation: 2.10 GiB Available: 28.66 GiB Now, is that ok to have all of the VM's using a default pool? Or should a pool be created for each VM instance. I honestly am not even sure what a pool references...?... The more I read, the more I am moving away from thinking something in the OS is the cause of my sluggishness. Suggestions? Many thanks in advance, Tom On Thu, May 22, 2014 at 9:16 AM, Martin Kletzander <mkletzan(a)redhat.com&gt; wrote:
