hello,lustre-discuss here is what i do to test the mdsfailover. my conf: #create nodes lmc -o test.xml --add node --node client lmc -m test.xml --add node --node metaserver1 lmc -m test.xml --add node --node metaserver2 lmc -m test.xml --add node --node obsd #configure nodes lmc -m test.xml --add net --node client --nid "*" --nettype tcp lmc -m test.xml --add net --node metaserver1 --nid 202.114.16.8 --nettype tcp lmc -m test.xml --add net --node metaserver2 --nid 202.114.16.9 --nettype tcp lmc -m test.xml --add net --node obsd --nid 202.114.16.10 --nettype tcp #configure mds server lmc -m test.xml --add mds --node metaserver1 --mds mds1 --fstype ext3 --dev /tmp/mds1 --size 102400 lmc -m test.xml --add mds --node metaserver2 --mds mds1 --fstype ext3 --dev /tmp/mds1 --size 102400 #the two directores named /tmp/mds1 is the same nfs exported directory.I use nfs for the shared storage. #configure ost lmc -m test.xml --add lov --lov lov1 --mds mds1 --stripe_sz 4096 --stripe_cnt 0 --stripe_pattern 0 lmc -m test.xml --add ost --node obsd --lov lov1 --ost ost1 --fstype ext3 --dev /tmp/ost1 --size 655360 lmc -m test.xml --add ost --node obsd --lov lov1 --ost ost2 --fstype ext3 --dev /tmp/ost2 --size 655360 #configure client lmc -m test.xml --add mtpt --node client --path /mnt/client --mds mds1 --lov lov1 lmc -m test.xml --add mtpt --node client --path /mnt/client1 --mds mds1 --lov lov1 also,i used LDAP. then,startup the lustre on all the nodes,and it's OK. on the metaserver1,stop the lustre service: lconf -d --node metaserver1 --ldapurl ldapserver --config test.xml then,on the metaserver2: lactive --ldapurl ldapserver --config test.xml --active metaserver2 #no error lconf --node metaserver2 --ldapurl ldapserver --config test.xml #here is a msg: mds1_UUID not active what wrong I want to know.any advice is welcome. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Ö Àñ£¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ÕÔÍú ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡zw200138@163.com ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡2005-09-13
