I disabled the CephX authentication now. Though the Performance is Slightly better, it is not yet there. Are there any other recommendations for all HDD ceph clusters ? From another thread https://lists.ceph.io/hyperkitty/list/ceph-users@ceph.io/thread/DFHXXN4KKI5P... *In our test based v15.2.2, i found osd_numa_prefer_iface/osd_numa_auto_affinity make onlyehalf cpu used. for 4K RW, it make performance drop much. So you can check this whetheroccur.* I do see "set_numa_affinity unable to identify cluster interface" alerts. But I am not sure that is a cause for concern.

Hi,
Thanks for the email, But we are not using RAID at all, we are using HBAs LSI HBA 9400-8e. Eash HDD is configured as an OSD.

for certain CPU architecture, disable spectre and meltdown mitigations.

(be sure to have diverse power and UPS protection if needed to run on disk cache on) (good RAID. battery if using raid cache improves perf.)
to see the perf impact of spec. and melt. mitigation vs. off, run: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null ^i run for 5 seconds and then ctl+c will show a max north bridge ops.
to see the difference in await and IOPs when toggle RAID card features and on disk cache I run: iostat -xtc 2 and use fio to generate disk load for testing IOPs. (google fio example commands) ^south bridge +raid controller to disks ops and latency.
