hi, I successfully installed lustre over Ethernet. While for Lustre over tcp/ip on Myrinet, it stills hangs there. still that two nodes cluster first start ost on node1: #/usr/sbin/lconf --reformat --maxlevel 40 --node node1 ./config.xml succefully on node1 then start ost and mds on node0 #/usr/sbin/lconf --reformat --node node0 ./config.xml hangs there, i add some print in lconf run(self, cmds) and runcmd(cmd). here is the final lines of the print result: <__main__.LCTLInterface instance at 0x875840c> cfg_device MDT setup quit <__main__.LCTLInterface instance at 0x875840c> attach mds mds-test mds-test_UUID quit <__main__.LCTLInterface instance at 0x875840c> cfg_device mds-test setup /dev/loop1 ext3 mds-test quit (hangs here) ctrl+c Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2723, in ? main() File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2716, in main doHost(lustreDB, node_list) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2345, in doHost for_each_profile(node_db, prof_list, doSetup) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2216, in for_each_profile operation(services) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 2231, in doSetup n.prepare() File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 1449, in prepare setup ="%s %s %s" %(blkdev, self.fstype, self.name)) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 553, in newdev self.setup(name, setup) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 546, in setup self.run(cmds) File "/usr/sbin/lconf", line 372, in run ready = select.select([outfd,errfd],[],[]) # Wait for input KeyboardInterrupt errors from /var/log/messages: Jul 30 22:00:21 node0 kernel: LustreError: 23265:0:(socknal_cb.c:2321:ksocknal_connect_peer()) Error -115 connecting to 0xc0a801fc 0:192.168.1.252 Jul 30 22:00:21 node0 kernel: LustreError: 23265:0:(socknal_cb.c:2417:ksocknal_autoconnect()) Deleting packet type 1 len 168 (0xc0a80101 0:192.168.1.1->0xc0a801fc 0:192.168.1.1) Jul 30 22:00:21 node0 kernel: LustreError: 23265:0:(events.c:51:request_out_callback()) @@@ type 4, status 27 req@f3be8600 x2/t0 o8->ost2_UUID@NID_node1_UUID:6 lens 168/64 ref 2 fl Rpc:/0/0 rc 0/0 Jul 30 22:00:21 node0 kernel: LustreError: 23778:0:(client.c:823:ptlrpc_expire_one_request()) @@@ timeout (sent 1122778771) req@f3be8600 x2/t0 o8->ost2_UUID@NID_node1_UUID:6 lens 168/64 ref 1 fl Rpc:/0/0 rc 0/0 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
