Tuning I/O Performance

I/O scheduling controls how input/output operations will be submitted to storage.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server offers various I/O algorithms—called elevators
suiting different workloads. Elevators can help to reduce seek operations, can priori-
tize I/O requests, or make sure, and I/O request is carried out before a given deadline.
Choosing the best suited I/O elevator not only depends on the workload, but on the
hardware, too. Single ATA disk systems, SSDs, RAID arrays, or network storage sys-
tems, for example, each require different tuning strategies.
13.1 Switching I/O Scheduling
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server lets you set a default I/O scheduler at boot-time, which
can be changed on the fly per block device. This makes it possible to set different al-
gorithms for e.g. the device hosting the system partition and the device hosting a data-
base.
By default the CFQ (Completely Fair Queuing) scheduler is used. Change this default
by entering the boot parameter
elevator=SCHEDULER
where SCHEDULER is one of cfq, noop, or deadline. See Section13.2, “Avail-
able I/O Elevators” (page162) for details.
To change the elevator for a specific device in the running system, run the following
command:
