Increase Block Storage API service throughput
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
By default, the Block Storage API service runs in one process. This
|
|
limits the number of API requests that the Block Storage service can
|
|
process at any given time. In a production environment, you should
|
|
increase the Block Storage API throughput by allowing the Block Storage
|
|
API service to run in as many processes as the machine capacity allows.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The Block Storage API service is named ``openstack-cinder-api`` on
|
|
the following distributions: CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, Red Hat
|
|
Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise. In Ubuntu and Debian
|
|
distributions, the Block Storage API service is named ``cinder-api``.
|
|
|
|
To do so, use the Block Storage API service option ``osapi_volume_workers``.
|
|
This option allows you to specify the number of API service workers
|
|
(or OS processes) to launch for the Block Storage API service.
|
|
|
|
To configure this option, open the ``/etc/cinder/cinder.conf``
|
|
configuration file and set the ``osapi_volume_workers`` configuration
|
|
key to the number of CPU cores/threads on a machine.
|
|
|
|
On distributions that include ``openstack-config``, you can configure
|
|
this by running the following command instead:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
# openstack-config --set /etc/cinder/cinder.conf \
|
|
DEFAULT osapi_volume_workers CORES
|
|
|
|
Replace ``CORES`` with the number of CPU cores/threads on a machine.
