virtual-host: More aggressive writeback of dirty
vm.dirty_ratio
of system default is 20, so set vm.dirty_ratio
of virtual-host
to 10.
RHEL 7: Virtualization Tuning and Optimization Guide: Chapter 4. tuned and tuned-adm:
Based on the throughput-performance profile, virtual-host also enables more aggressive writeback of dirty pages. This profile is the recommended profile for virtualization hosts, including both KVM and Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) hosts.
RHEL 8: Configuring and managing virtualization: Chapter 16. Optimizing virtual machine performance:
For RHEL 8 virtualization hosts, use the virtual-host profile. This enables more aggressive writeback of dirty memory pages, which benefits the host performance.
RHEL 9: Configuring and managing virtualization: Chapter 17. Optimizing virtual machine performance:
For RHEL 9 virtualization hosts, use the virtual-host profile. This enables more aggressive writeback of dirty memory pages, which benefits the host performance.
Thanks for the contribution and sorry for the delay. Do you have some benchmark data supporting this change? It's apparent that this needs a fix, but it could be also fixed in the documentation.
