NvME SSD+SSD node performance and I/O path | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

I have 5 nodes equipped with 2*3.2TB NVMe SSD and 6* 1.92TB SATA SSD. of every one. all nodes are connected with 25Gb network. all nodes upgarde from AOS 5.15 to 5.20

From the nutanix bible, in the scenarion with NVMe SSD + STATA SSD, the oplog will only reside in the NVMe SSD, and not in SATA SSD.

So that is mean all the random write will first write in NVMe SSD and then drain to all the NVMe SSD+ SATA SSD?

all the sequential write will pass OPlog and only writhe to extent store parally in all NVMe SSD + SATA SSD? 

How about the read I/O path? 

In some test, I found that when I do some I/O operation in VM, All the device (NVMe and SATA) have I/O counters and the IOPS are roughly the same in the prism-hardware--disk page. Seems the fast speed of NVMe SSD cannot be utilized.

Does you have any suggestions to prove the fast performance improve by used NVMe in the nodes.

I also checked that the disk status, as the folloing: It is used SPDK.
