I am noticing a significant drop in Backup spee dafter i upgraded to Proxmox 3. Everything is same. There was no hardware changes or any software except proxmox 3. All VMs are on shared storage on OmniOS+Napp-IT NFS Share.
Is it just me ? Tried to search the forum, but i do not seem to find anybody having anu issue with backup speed. Before the upgrade backup speed was done in 3 hr 24 mins. But now the exact same backup of same size takes 7hr 44 mins. All VMs are qcow2.
Thanks for any help!
 
can you post your nfs mount options ?

Sorry for my ignorance, but which NFS mount options did you need? I created Pool>ZFS File System in OmniOS+Napp-IT, then just clicked to enable NFS on the filesystem, it created the share on its own. But i could pull up the NFS properties on OmniOS server. Not sure if this is the info you needed though.

NFS properties: sharectl get nfsservers=16
lockd_listen_backlog=32
lockd_servers=20
lockd_retransmit_timeout=5
grace_period=90
server_versmin=2
server_versmax=4
client_versmin=2
client_versmax=4
server_delegation=on
nfsmapid_domain=
max_connections=-1
protocol=ALL
listen_backlog=32
device=
 
Server : Intel i5-3570 3.4Ghz 32GB RAM
OS : OmniOS+Napp-IT
HDD : 3 x 2TB Seagate
RAID : Raid-Z1 No DeDup
Hardware RAID : No
Used Data : 221 GB

Hopefully these are the info you were looking for.
 
What does this show:
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

Look for the options line under your Omnios share

Mine reads: options vers=3,tcp,noatime

Also what does the following show for your Omnios share:
cat /proc/mounts

Especially look for rsize and wsize, mine reads: rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576 which is max record size.
 
Under storage.cfg it shows the following for OmniOS Share:
options vers=3

For /proc/mounts, it does show rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576 for OmniOS Share.

For storage.cfg, i went ahead and added options vers=3,notime, but still same slow backup issue.
 
Opps, ya i did forget the tcp.
Even after adding the tcp, restarting all the nodes, backup speed stays low around 45 mib/s on Gigabit network. All my VM discs are qcow2. Does that have any effect? Should i convert them to raw and try again ?
 
maybe this can help ?

before upgrading to v3 I was using "pigz" for compression. During the upgrade pigz was replaced by gzip again. Now I switched to lzo for compression which is much better and faster.
Even so I am using the raw format for my Windows VM's I use "sdelete" to zero out empty spaces in Windows once a week. This reduces the compression time alot.
I use OmniOS+Napp-it-to-Go my self for backup storage but I use smb for that. My speed is arround 80-100 mb/s or higher.

Here a sample from one of my backups:
102: Jun 09 03:51:12 INFO: transferred 386547 MB in 3070 seconds (125 MB/s)

I was looking at one of my customer side. They are using nfs in combination with OmniOS+Napp-It:
storage.cfg looks like this:

nfs: NFS-Manu
path /mnt/pve/NFS-Manu
server 192.168.178.8
export /RaidZ/bigone/manu
options vers=3
content backup
nodes BigOne
maxfiles 10


nfs: NFS-LAB
path /mnt/pve/NFS-LAB
server 192.168.178.8
export /RaidZ/bigone/LAB
options vers=3
content backup
maxfiles 5

125 mb/s?? I would be way more than happy with that speed. Are you on Gigabit network or higher?

This is what i have in my Storage.cfg:
nfs: nfs-Omni-backup-02
path /mnt/pve/nfs-Omni-backup-02
server 192.101.60.12
export /symmOmni-pool-01/symmOmni-zfs-02
options vers=3,tcp,noatime
content backup
maxfiles 12

I am on Gigabit network. I tried with both qcow2 and raw format, but backup speed stayed the same.
 
I am on Gigabit network. I tried with both qcow2 and raw format, but backup speed stayed the same.

I am on a Gigabit network too. I use a HP MicroServer N40L with 4 WD Red 2 TB in one RaidZ vdev. I use a second NIC in my HP as a dedicated "Backup Line".

This is how mount looks like for NFS:
Code:
192.168.178.8:/RaidZ/bigone/manu on /mnt/pve/NFS-Manu type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.178.8,mountvers=3,mountport=42941,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.178.8)
 
Code:
192.168.178.8:/RaidZ/bigone/manu on /mnt/pve/NFS-Manu type nfs (rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.168.178.8,mountvers=3,mountport=42941,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.168.178.8)

My NFS Share:
Code:
192.101.60.12:/symmOmni-pool-01/symmOmni-zfs-02 /mnt/pve/nfs-Omni-backup-02 nfs rw,relatime,vers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,mountaddr=192.101.60.12,mountvers=3,mountport=63695,mountproto=udp,local_lock=none,addr=192.101.60.12 0 0

It looks exactly the same except the in mine mountport is 63695 instead of yours 42941. But that should not matter i dont think. The network 192.101.60.0/24 is dedicated for Backup only. There is no other traffic happening.
 
I don't think the port matters. Do you have compression and/or dedup on on your ZFS machine ? Your pool maybe above 85% full ?
Maybe you can test with a regular directory (smb) on your ZFS as a backup location. See if you still get the bad performance...

I do not have Compression or DeDup turned on on any NFS/SMB. The pool on OmniOS is 1.8TB out of which only 231GB is used currently. Here are some fresh numbers below, hopefully this will make some sense.....

Backup speed in Proxmox with Writeback cache enabled(LZO with VM stopped):
FreeNAS NFS=102 mib/s
OmniOS NFS =105 mib/s

Backup speed in Proxmox with no cache(LZO with VM stopped):
FreeNAS NFS=65 mib/s
OmniOS NFS =64 mib/s

SMB Copy only:
From FreeNAS SMB to Windows 7 : 92 mib/s
From OmniOS SMB to Windows 7 : 77 mib/s

From Windows 7 to FreeNAS SMB : 49 mib/s
From Windows 7 to OmniOS SMB : 42 mib/s

Anybody seeing any pattern? This is almost getting frustrating, but i am going to see the bottom of it no matter how long i have to fight for ! :confused:
 
Hi,

I just want to share my backup-experience with you.
It is done via nfs to a QNAP TS-459U+.

Was does the following command show on your Omnios box?
zpool status <your pool>

Try this command when doing backup and post the output here:
zpool iostat <your pool> 5

When I do a backup I see peaks like this:
capacity operations bandwidth
pool alloc free read write read write

vMotion 9.88G 918G 0 408 0 40.5M

INFO: transferred 4294 MB in 132 seconds (32 MB/s)
INFO: archive file size: 1.62GB
INFO: Finished Backup of VM 117 (00:02:16)

I have LZ4 compression active on the box so the numbers would likely be higher given compression was deactivated.

One line item with 98.0M and another line item with 75.0M were the only two with peak. Rest of line items are around 30M or else.


Just to try out, i converted one of the VM to raw format from qcow2, enabled writethrough cache, then did a backup through Omni NFS share.
Code:
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=tahoma]INFO: status: 100% (429526089728/429526089728), sparse 84% (364899454976), duration 4034, 116/27 MB/s[/FONT][/COLOR]

106 MB/s backup speed in 1hr 7 min! This is the exactly same backup i have been trying which took close to 3 hr every time. What do you think ?
