Which revision of RHEL4? There are pre-built RPMs for current versions of RHEL4 which can simply be installed. I believe you need only these RPMs to attach a client system to an existing cluster: lustre-1.6.2-2.6.9_55.0.2.EL_lustre.1.6.2smp kernel-lustre-smp-2.6.9-55.0.2.EL_lustre.1.6.2 lustre-modules-1.6.2-2.6.9_55.0.2.EL_lustre.1.6.2smp Bear in mind that the version numbers are specific to the version of my cluster; they may vary for your cluster. hth, Klaus -----Original Message----- From: lustre-discuss-bounces at lists.lustre.org on behalf of anil kumar Sent: Thu 10/30/2008 10:28 PM To: lustre-discuss at lists.lustre.org Subject: [Lustre-discuss] Build Lustre Client Hi All, Does any one have information related to Building only lustre client for RHEL 4, i would like to know kernel patches list for client, which need to be updated.

Hi, I have different kernel version "2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELxenU" as it is an virtual System, we tried building packages for this kernel & it failed, but as per the documentation i could not see any support for this kernel listed. It is important that we need to use 2.6.9-78.0.0.0.1.ELxenU version of xen kernel.

you mean it failed when building ldiskfs? what are the error messages? I could be wrong, but client side has no real need for ldiskfs.

You mentioned that you are getting an error in ldiskfs though. ldiskfs should not be getting built for a client kernel and configure should detect whether a client kernel source has been patched for use as a server or not and disable server (and therefore ldiskfs) building if not. b. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
