Hi,

It seems this method cannot solve my problem. My NID is
10.0.38.102 at tcp, and furthermore when I add the item

options lnet network=tcp0(eth1)

I still encountered the same problem and after this failure I change
this item back to

options lnet network=tcp

That still got failure. So I really feel very confused about that.
When I installed Lustre the NID is 10.0.68.102 at tcp. not tcp0 suffix.

Could someone tell me how to fix that problem?
