All the nodes have to run the same network type, so they can talk to one
another. If client is runnng
Infiniband, server must also run Infiniband, in most cases. See the Lustre
Manual for information on
Lustre Routing.
Clients and server can run different versions of Lustre.
You need to run a version of the kernel supported by Lustre, even with
patchless clients.
See Lustre release notes for kernel versions.
