KVM虚拟机CPU开销高性能优化例子 - 配置CPU flag
背景
在装好后, 发现一个问题, 即使我的虚拟机上没跑任何用户进程, 在宿主机上对应的qemu-kvm进程的CPU利用率也有9.0左右.
本文将要介绍一下优化的方法,主要是精简配置,以及设置对应的CPU FLAG。
优化过程
删掉一些不必要的控制器(如USB), 然后添加CPU模块, 使用本地CPU的flag.
virsh # shutdown centos6_6_x64
virsh # edit centos6_6_x64
..................
原来的配置文件大概是这样的,
<domain type='kvm' id='2'>

修改后的XML如下, CPU使用host-model=allow :
virsh # dumpxml centos6_6_x64

开机
virsh # start centos6_6_x64
Domain centos6_6_x64 started
virsh # console centos6_6_x64
Connected to domain centos6_6_x64
Escape character is ^]
查看当前虚拟机启动时配置的cpu flag, 判断为Nehalem:
[root@db-172-16-3-150 ~]# ps -ewf|grep kvm

现在qemu-kvm CPU使用率降低到0.x%

还记得cluster.rng吗?都是类似的模板哦。
