similar to: Quota setup fails because of OST ordering

All, I''ve added a new 2.2 TB OST to my cluster easily enough, but this new disk array is meant to replace several smaller OSTs that I used to have of which were only 120 GB, 500 GB, and 700 GB. Adding an OST is easy, but how do I REMOVE the small OSTs that I no longer want to be part of my cluster? Is there a command to tell luster to move all the file stripes off one of the nodes?

OK, so our old MDS had hardware issues so I configured a new MGS / MDS on a VM (this is a backup lustre filesystem and I wanted to separate the MGS / MDS from OSS of the previous), and then did this: For example: mount -t ldiskfs /dev/old /mnt/ost_old mount -t ldiskfs /dev/new /mnt/ost_new rsync -aSv /mnt/ost_old/ /mnt/ost_new # note trailing slash on ost_old/ If you are unable to connect both

Hello, we wounder whether is it possible to add OSTs to the Lustre with quota support without making it offline? We tried to do this but all quota information was lost. Despite the fact that OST was formatted with quota support we are receiving this error message: Lustre: 3743:0:(lproc_quota.c:447:lprocfs_quota_wr_type()) lustrefs-OST0016: quotaon failed because quota files

Hi everyone, I have seen this question here before, but without a very satisfactory answer. One of our half a dozen clients has lost access to a set of OSTs: > lfs osts OBDS:: 0: lustre-OST0000_UUID ACTIVE 1: lustre-OST0001_UUID ACTIVE 2: lustre-OST0002_UUID INACTIVE 3: lustre-OST0003_UUID INACTIVE 4: lustre-OST0004_UUID INACTIVE 5: lustre-OST0005_UUID ACTIVE 6: lustre-OST0006_UUID ACTIVE

Hi Guys, I''m trying to figure out a way to get a list of files with objects present on an OST that is down. Normally one could do: lfs find -O <OST> dir but that is giving us Input/output errors (I assume because the OST is down). Is there a good way to get a list of objects (Maybe from the MDS?), what OSTs they are on, and correlate them with files? Thanks, Mark -- Mark

I want to config one 50T OST stroage, is it okay? Since I know that the limitation of ext3 is 1XT. Thnaks

if i have a single oss with multiple ost''s do i get any parallelism when striping across the ost''s? i.e. would a client form multiple connections on whatever transport between the itself the oss?

Hi all, we use SLES 11 and Lustre 1.8.1.1 + patches and like convert a lustre FS using external journals to one with async journals enabled. Question is whether the procedure: umount <filesystem> on all clients umount <osts> on all OSSes e2fsck <ost-device> on all OSSes for all all OSTs tune2fs -O ^has_journal <ost-device> on all

We are seeing some disturbing (probably due to our ignorance) behavior from lustre 1.6.3 right now. We have 8 OSSs with 3 OSTs per OSS (24 physical LUNs). We just created a brand new lustre file system across this configuration using the default mkfs.lustre formatting options. We have this file system mounted across 400 clients. At the moment, we have 63 IOzone threads running

Hi, We run four-node Lustre 2.3, and I needed to both change hardware under MGS/MDS and reassign an OSS ip. Just the same, I added a brand new 10GE network to the system, which was the reason for MDS hardware change. I ran tunefs.lustre --writeconf as per chapter 14.4 in Lustre Manual, and everything mounts fine. Log regeneration apparently works, since it seems to do something, but

I installed 1 MDS , 2 OSS/OST and 2 Lustre Client.

Dear All, We have a small setup of lustre with 7 OSTs on 8gb FC . We have kept one OST per FC port. We have lustre 2.3 with CentOS 6.3. There are 32 clients which access this over FDR IB. We can achieve more than 1.3GB/s throughput using IOR, without cache. Which is roughly 185MB/s per OST. We wanted to know if this is normal. Should we expect more from 8gb FC port. OSTs are on 8+2 RAID6 .

Hello, We have running lustre 1.8.1 and have met "No space lest on device" error when uploading 500 Gb small files (less then 100 Kb each). The problem seems to depends on the number of files. If we remove one file, we can create one new file, even with Gb size; but if we haven''t remove something we can''t create even very little file, as an example using touch

Hi I want my lustre do such things during OST failed: if some file has stripe data on th failed OST, any operation on the file will return IO error without blocking, and also at this moment I can create and read/write new file or read/write files which have no stripe data on the failed OST without blocking. What should I do ? How to configure? thanks! swin -------------- next part

Hi, With help from Oleg we got the right patches applied and NFS working well. Maximum performance was about 60 MB/sec. Last week that dropped to about 12.5 MB/sec and I cannot find a reason. Lustre clients all obtain 100+ MB/sec on GigE. Each OST is good for 270 MB/sec. When mounting the client on one of the OSSs I get 230 MB/sec. Seems the speed is there. How can NFS and Lustre be tuned

Hello everybody, at the following pages: http://www.rit.edu/~rc/docs/Survey_of_Clustered_Parallel_File_Systems_004_LANL.ppt http://www.intel.com/cd/ids/developer/asmo-na/eng/dc/tools/threading/238284.htm?page=2 I read: "[...] Currently, one additional drawback to Lustre is that a Lustre client cannot be on a server that is providing OSTs. This solution is being worked on and may be

I''m evaluating lustre. I''m trying what I think is a basic/simple ethernet config. with MDT and OST on the same node. Can someone tell me if the following (~150 second recovery occurring when small 190 GB OST is re-mounted) is expected behavior or if I''m missing something? I thought I would send this and continue with the eval while awaiting a response. I''m using

Hi; One of our OSTs filled up. Once we realized this, we executed lctl --device 9 deactivate on our fs''s combo MDS/MGS machine. We saw in the syslog that the OST in question was deactivated: Lustre: setting import ufhpc-OST0008_UUID INACTIVE by administrator request However, ''lfs df'' on the clients does not show that the OST is deactivated there, unless we *also*
