[Lustre-discuss] BZ 23243 is now tracking development for Lustre channel bonding
BZ 23243 at bugzilla.lustre.org is now tracking development for Lustre channel bonding/multi-rail support. The project is at its initial stage and we are calling for detailed requirements, desirable features, design considerations, challenges, and comments on the same. If possible please place all your comments/suggestions/questions into the BZ 23243 to preserve the context although all four Lustre mailing lists are being monitored as well. The overall objective of the project is in providing Lustre networking with a capacity to aggregate node''s multiple network interfaces in the following configurations: (a) interfaces are on the same Lustre network (b) interfaces are on different Lustre networks but handled by the same type of LND (c) interfaces are on different Lustre networks and handled by different types of LND Dynamic load balancing and failover shall be available to interfaces comprising the aggregates. The functionality shall be available for both Lustre clients and servers (MDS/OSS). The following public document released by Oracle can serve as a good starting point for discussion: http://wiki.lustre.org/images/e/ee/Channel_Bonding_06_15_09.pdf <http://wiki.lustre.org/images/e/ee/Channel_Bonding_06_15_09.pdf> Vladimir Shvedoff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
