hi, I am new to Lustre and am try to understand it by cnfiguringthe basic Lustre configuration with the MDS, OSS and OST on a single node. For this I followed the simple procedure as described in your Howto document. This is what I did: 1) Installed RedHat Linux 3.0 2) Downloaded and installed kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL_lustre.1.4.6.i686.rpm <http://downloads.clusterfs.com/dl/dced83c5530dcc681e658c2e90d211db/v1.4 /1.4.6/rhel-2.4-i686/kernel-smp-2.4.21-37.EL_lustre.1.4.6.i686.rpm> , lustre-1.4.6-2.4.21_37.EL_lustre.1.4.6smp.i686.rpm <http://downloads.clusterfs.com/dl/dced83c5530dcc681e658c2e90d211db/v1.4 /1.4.6/rhel-2.4-i686/lustre-1.4.6-2.4.21_37.EL_lustre.1.4.6smp.i686.rpm> and lustre-modules-1.4.6-2.4.21_37.EL_lustre.1.4.6smp.i686.rpm <http://downloads.clusterfs.com/dl/dced83c5530dcc681e658c2e90d211db/v1.4 /1.4.6/rhel-2.4-i686/lustre-modules-1.4.6-2.4.21_37.EL_lustre.1.4.6smp.i 686.rpm> NOTE: I did not download the lustre-1.4.6.tar.gz 3) Since my distribution did not contain the examples folder. I created a local.sh script exactly as the example script give in the howto document. 4) after running the script and executing lconf --reformat local.xml I get an error: host entry not found. I even tried tracing it in the lconf file but could not figure it out at all. this is where the error is coming from: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2827, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2820, in main doHost(lustreDB, node_list) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2192, in doHost local_node_name = node_db.get_val(''name'', 0) AttributeError: ''NoneType'' object has no attribute ''get_val'' What could be the problem?
