Hello, we are planning on a new cluster based on Mac OS X Server, which is to be integrated into the existing cluster environment, based on SLES. As a common shared file system lustre is in focus. As I can see so far, Mac OS X is not on the roadmap so far. Is there anything in plan? Thanks Torben Neuking

Is there anything in plan?As yet there hasn''t been a high enough demand for a native OS/X client. I would recommend using NFS export from a Lustre client to connect the OS/X node.
