Hi.
I entered one of our domU tonight and see following problem:
# iowait -k 5
avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle
0.00 0.00 0.00 100.00 0.00 0.00
Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn
sda1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0
sda2 0.00 0.00 0.00 0 0
I check other domU and dom0 on same server - there were high iowait: from 20% to
50% with few transactions per second and about 0.1-1.5 Mb/sec storage bandwith
usage per domU. This domU have no disk IO at all but show LA 15 and possible
higher.
We have 6 domU on 8-core server with 7 FUJITSU MBB2147RC SAS HDD on DELL PERC
5/i RAID controller.
CentOS 5
Xen 3.1.0
Kernel 2.6.21
We suffer from this problem for a while on many our xen hosts, it is not a
single-time issue.

Re: [Xen-users] 100% iowait in domU with no IO tasks.
Hi, This is also a problem we are having on our xen servers, but the iowait is considerably higher. i would like to reduce iowait as much as possible, i see iowait above 70% sometimes...

Re: [Xen-users] 100% iowait in domU with no IO tasks.
not much disk usage in any case, otherwise it''d be pointless to mention it here, and definately no swapping. This is of course the first thing to look for...

Did you see the send and receive queue? ( netstat -ne) Are you using drbd? marco 2008/5/8 Maarten Vanraes <maarten@ba.be>:> not much disk usage in any case, otherwise it''d be pointless to mention it > here, and definately no swapping. > > This is of course the first thing to look for... > > Op donderdag 8 mei 2008 15:37, schreef Nick Anderson: >> Maarten Vanraes wrote: >> > i would like to reduce iowait as much as possible, i see iowait above 70% >> > sometimes... >> >> What kind of services are you running inside your domUs?
