mc support perf
Table of Contents
Changed in version RELEASE.2022-07-24T02-25-13Z: mc support perf
replaces the mc admin speedtest
command.
Description
Use the mc support perf
command to review the performance of the S3 API (read/write), network IO, and storage (drive read/write).
The resulting tests can provide general guidance of deployment performance under S3 GET
and PUT
requests and identify any potential bottlenecks.
For more complete performance testing, consider using a combination of load-testing using your staging application environments and the MinIO WARP S3 benchmarking tool.
mc support perf
has three subcommands
-
Measure the speed of drives in a MinIO deployment.
-
Measure the speed of reading and writing objects in a cluster.
-
Measure the network throughput of all nodes.
SUBNET Registration Required
The mc support
commands are designed for MinIO deployments registered with MinIO SUBNET to ensure optimal outcome of diagnostics and performance testing.
Deployments not registered with SUBNET cannot use the mc support
commands.
Examples
Measure Speed of an Object
Measure the performance of S3 read/write of an object on the alias minio1
.
MinIO autotunes concurrency to obtain maximum throughput and IOPS (Input/Output Per Second).
mc support perf object minio1
Measure Speed of an Object of a Specific Size for a Specific Duration
Run object the S3 read/write performance of an object for 20 seconds with object size of 128MiB on alias minio1
.
MinIO autotunes concurrency to obtain maximum throughput.
mc support perf object minio1 --duration 20s --size 128MiB
Test Speed of All Drives on All Nodes with Default Specifications
Run drive read/write performance measurements on all drive on all nodes for a cluster with alias minio1
.
The command does not specify the blocksize, so the default of 4MiB is used.
mc support perf drive minio1
Test Drive Speed Measurements with Custom Specifications
Run drive read/write performance measurements on a cluster with alias minio1
specifying a blocksize of 64KiB and data read/written from each drive of 2GiB.
mc support perf drive minio1 --blocksize 64KiB --filesize 2GiB
Test Network Throughput
Run a network throughput test on a cluster with alias minio1
.
mc support perf net minio1
Syntax
- mc support perf drive
Measure the read/write speed of the drives in a cluster.
mc [GLOBAL FLAGS] support perf drive \ [--concurrent] \ [--verbose, -v] \ [--filesize] \ [--blocksize] \ [--serial] \ [--airgap] \ ALIAS
- mc support perf object
Measure the S3 performance of reading and writing objects in a cluster.
mc [GLOBAL FLAGS] support perf object \ [--size] \ [--concurrent] \ [--verbose, -v] \ [--airgap] \ ALIAS
- mc support perf net
Measure the network throughput of all nodes in a cluster.
mc [GLOBAL FLAGS] support perf net \ [--concurrent] \ [--verbose, -v] \ [--serial] \ [--airgap] \ ALIAS
Parameters
- --airgap
- Optional
Use in environments without network access to SUBNET (for example, airgapped, firewalled, or similar configuration).
If the deployment is airgapped, but the local device where you are using the minio client has network access, you do not need to use the
--airgap
flag.
- --size
- Optional
Applies to the
object
command.Specify the size of the object to use for upload and download performance test.
If not specified, the default value is
64MiB
.Use
--size <value>
where<value>
is a number and the storage unit,KiB
,MiB
, orGiB
.
- --concurrent
- Optional
Applies to the
drive
,object
, andnet
commands.Specify the number of concurrent requests to test per server.
If not specified, the default value is
32
.Use
--concurrent <value>
where<value>
is a number.
- --verbose, -v
- Optional
Applies to the
drive
,object
, andnet
commands.Show per-server stats in the output.
- --filesize
- Optional
Applies to the
drive
command.Specify the total size of data to read or write to each drive.
If not specified, the default value is
1GiB
.Use
--filesize <value>
where<value>
is a number and storage unit,KiB
,MiB
, orGiB
.
- --blocksize
- Optional
Applies to the
drive
command.Specify the read/write block size.
If not specified, the default value is
4MiB
.Use
--filesize <value>
where<value>
is a number and a storage unit, using standard storage unit abbreviations.
Global Flags
This command supports any of the global flags.
