# Kernel Tuning for Minio Production Deployment on Linux Servers [](https://slack.minio.io) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/minio/minio) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/) [](https://codecov.io/gh/minio/minio)

## Tuning Network Parameters
|
|
|
|
Following network parameter settings can help ensure optimal Minio server performance on production workloads.
|
|
|
|
- *`tcp_fin_timeout`* : A socket left in memory takes approximately 1.5Kb of memory. It makes sense to close the unused sockets preemptively to ensure no memory leakage. This way, even if a peer doesn't close the socket due to some reason, the system itself closes it after a timeout. `tcp_fin_timeout` variable defines this timeout and tells kernel how long to keep sockets in the state FIN-WAIT-2. We recommend setting it to 30. You can set it as shown below
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
`sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout=30`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- *`tcp_keepalive_probes`* : This variable defines the number of unacknowledged probes to be sent before considering a connection dead. You can set it as shown below
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- *`wmem_max`*: This parameter sets the max OS send buffer size for all types of connections.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=540000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- *`rmem_max`*: This parameter sets the max OS receive buffer size for all types of connections.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=540000
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tuning Virtual Memory
|
|
|
|
Recommended virtual memory settings are as follows.
|
|
|
|
- *`swappiness`* : This parameter controls the relative weight given to swapping out runtime memory, as opposed to dropping pages from the system page cache. It takes values from 0 to 100, both inclusive. We recommend setting it to 10.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- *`dirty_background_ratio`*: This is the percentage of system memory that can be filled with `dirty` pages, i.e. memory pages that still need to be written to disk. We recommend writing the data to the disk as soon as possible. To do this, set the `dirty_background_ratio` to 1.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w vm.dirty_background_ratio=1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- *`dirty_ratio`*: This defines is the absolute maximum amount of system memory that can be filled with dirty pages before everything must get committed to disk.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w vm.dirty_ratio=5
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tuning Scheduler
|
|
|
|
Proper scheduler configuration makes sure Minio process gets adequate CPU time. Here are the recommended scheduler settings
|
|
|
|
- *`sched_min_granularity_ns`*: This parameter decides the minimum time a task will be be allowed to run on CPU before being pre-empted out. We recommend setting it to 10ms.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w kernel.sched_min_granularity_ns=10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- *`sched_wakeup_granularity_ns`*: Lowering this parameter improves wake-up latency and throughput for latency critical tasks, particularly when a short duty cycle load component must compete with CPU bound components.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
sysctl -w kernel.sched_wakeup_granularity_ns=15
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tuning Disks
|
|
|
|
The recommendations for disk tuning are conveniently packaged in a well commented [shell script](https://github.com/minio/minio/blob/master/docs/deployment/kernel-tuning/disk-tuning.sh). Please review the shell script for our recommendations.
