Chapter 4. tuned and tuned-adm


This chapter covers using the tuned daemon for tuning system settings in virtualized environments.
tuned is a tuning profile delivery mechanism that adapts Red Hat Enterprise Linux for certain workload characteristics, such as requirements for CPU-intensive tasks, or storage/network throughput responsiveness. It provides a number of tuning profiles that are pre-configured to enhance performance and reduce power consumption in a number of specific use cases. Edit these profiles or create new profiles to create performance solutions tailored to your environment.
The virtualization-related profiles provided as part of tuned include:
virtual-guest
Based on the throughput-performance profile, virtual-guest also decreases the swappiness of virtual memory.
The virtual-guest profile is automatically selected when creating a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 guest virtual machine. It is the recommended profile for virtual machines.
This profile is available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 and later, but must be manually selected when installing a virtual machine.
virtual-host
Based on the throughput-performance profile, virtual-host also enables more aggressive writeback of dirty pages. This profile is the recommended profile for virtualization hosts, including both KVM and Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) hosts.
By default in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 installation, the tuned package is installed and the tuned service is enabled.
To list all available profiles and identify the current active profile, run:
# tuned-adm list
Available profiles:
- balanced
- desktop
- latency-performance
- network-latency
- network-throughput
- powersave
- sap
- throughput-performance
- virtual-guest
- virtual-host
Current active profile: throughput-performance

It is also possible to create custom tuned profiles to encapsulate a set of tuning parameters. For instructions on creating custom tuned profiles, see the tuned.conf man page.
To only display the currently active profile, run:
tuned-adm active
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
To switch to one of the available profiles, run:
tuned-adm profile profile_name
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
For example, to switch to the virtual-host profile, run:
tuned-adm profile virtual-host
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Important

After setting a tuned profile in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 and above, make sure the tuned service is enabled for the configured profile to be applied after a reboot:
# systemctl enable tuned
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
In some cases, it is preferable to disable tuned to use parameters set manually. To disable all tuning for the current session, run:
# tuned-adm off
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
To permanently disable tuned and revert all changes it performed, run:
# tuned-adm off; systemctl disable tuned
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
