Upgrading to new cPanel Server with mySQL on SSD -- What should I change in my.cnf?

Howdy! I'm upgrading to a faster server with whm/cpanel and the mysql databases will be on a SSD. I've read a bit about not wanting any query cache and stuff like that, but as a novice, I've learned that tinkering with my.cnf can be disastrous. ;)

Here's the current my.cnf for my "hard drive" based webserver.

Code:
[mysqld]
query_cache_limit=32M
query_cache_size=128M
query_cache_type=1
query_cache_min_res_unit=4096
open_files_limit=16000

table_open_cache=25000
table_definition_cache=2000
key_buffer_size=128M
innodb_buffer_pool_size=2000M
innodb_buffer_pool_instances=2
join_buffer_size=4M
sort_buffer_size=4M
read_rnd_buffer_size=4M
tmp_table_size=3048M
max_heap_table_size=3048M
thread_cache_size=256

max_connections=250
table_cache=60000
What would you change in it on if mysql is on a SSD?

Here's a bit of info from tuner.sh all:

Code:
Avg. qps = 447

WORKER THREADS
Current thread_cache_size = 256
Current threads_cached = 96
Current threads_per_sec = 0
Historic threads_per_sec = 0
Your thread_cache_size is fine

MAX CONNECTIONS
Current max_connections = 250
Current threads_connected = 20
Historic max_used_connections = 116
The number of used connections is 46% of the configured maximum.
Your max_connections variable seems to be fine.

INNODB STATUS
Current InnoDB index space = 794 M
Current InnoDB data space = 1.10 G
Current InnoDB buffer pool free = 14 %
Current innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1.95 G
Depending on how much space your innodb indexes take up it may be safe
to increase this value to up to 2 / 3 of total system memory

MEMORY USAGE
Max Memory Ever Allocated : 3.62 G
Configured Max Per-thread Buffers : 3.02 G
Configured Max Global Buffers : 2.21 G
Configured Max Memory Limit : 5.23 G
Physical Memory : 15.56 G
Max memory limit seem to be within acceptable norms

KEY BUFFER
Current MyISAM index space = 222 M
Current key_buffer_size = 128 M
Key cache miss rate is 1 : 1115
Key buffer free ratio = 72 %
Your key_buffer_size seems to be fine

QUERY CACHE
Query cache is enabled
Current query_cache_size = 128 M
Current query_cache_used = 28 M
Current query_cache_limit = 32 M
Current Query cache Memory fill ratio = 22.42 %
Current query_cache_min_res_unit = 4 K
Your query_cache_size seems to be too high.
Perhaps you can use these resources elsewhere
MySQL won't cache query results that are larger than query_cache_limit in size

SORT OPERATIONS
Current sort_buffer_size = 4 M
Current read_rnd_buffer_size = 4 M
Sort buffer seems to be fine

JOINS
Current join_buffer_size = 4.00 M
You have had 166 queries where a join could not use an index properly
join_buffer_size >= 4 M
This is not advised
You should enable "log-queries-not-using-indexes"
Then look for non indexed joins in the slow query log.

OPEN FILES LIMIT
Current open_files_limit = 120260 files
The open_files_limit should typically be set to at least 2x-3x
that of table_cache if you have heavy MyISAM usage.
Your open_files_limit value seems to be fine

TABLE CACHE
Current table_open_cache = 60000 tables
Current table_definition_cache = 2000 tables
You have a total of 733 tables
You have 851 open tables.
The table_cache value seems to be fine

TEMP TABLES
Current max_heap_table_size = 2.97 G
Current tmp_table_size = 2.97 G
Of 262494 temp tables, 33% were created on disk
Perhaps you should increase your tmp_table_size and/or max_heap_table_size
to reduce the number of disk-based temporary tables
Note! BLOB and TEXT columns are not allow in memory tables.
If you are using these columns raising these values might not impact your 
ratio of on disk temp tables.

TABLE SCANS
Current read_buffer_size = 128 K
Current table scan ratio = 1005 : 1
read_buffer_size seems to be fine

TABLE LOCKING
Current Lock Wait ratio = 1 : 101097
Your table locking seems to be fine
Thanks so much for any help or suggestions!

Regards,

Ben

Hello :)

I have moved this thread to our "Optimization" forum where you should receive more user-feedback.

Thank you.
