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?

Hi, Our lustre environment is: 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL_lustre.1.6.3smp I would like to change recovery timeout from default value 250s to something longer I tried example from manual: set_timeout <secs> Sets the timeout (obd_timeout) for a server to wait before failing recovery. We performed that experiment on our test lustre installation with one OST. storage02 is our OSS [root at

Hi! We''ve started to poke and prod at Lustre 1.6.4.1, and it seems to mostly work (we haven''t had it OOPS on us yet like the earlier 1.6-versions did). However, we had this weird incident where an active client (it was copying 4GB files and running ls at the time) got evicted by the MDS and all OST''s. After a while logs indicate that it did recover the connection

on our cluster that has been running lustre for about 1 month. I have 1 MDT/MGS and 1 OSS with 2 OST''s. Our cluster uses all Gige and has about 608 nodes 1854 cores. We have allot of jobs that die, and/or go into high IO wait, strace shows processes stuck in fstat(). The big problem is (i think) I would like some feedback on it that of these 608 nodes 209 of them have in dmesg

Chris, Perhaps you need to perform some write_conf like command. I''m not sure if this is needed in 1.6 or not.

Hi all, Here is the situation: I have 2 nodes MDS1 , MDS2 (10.0.0.22 , 10.0.0.23) I wish to use as failover MGS, active/active MDT with zfs. I have a jbod shelf with 12 disks, seen by both nodes as das (the shelf has 2 sas ports, connected to a sas hba on each node), and I am using lustre 2.4 on centos 6.4 x64 I have created 3 zfs pools: 1. mgs: # zpool

Hi, We have seen a huge performance drop in 1.6.3, due to the checksum being enabled by default. I looked at the algorithm being used, and it is actually a CRC32, which is a very strong algorithm for detecting all sorts of problems, such as single bit errors, swapped bytes, and missing bytes. I''ve been experimenting with using a simple XOR algorithm. I''ve been able to recover

I am running on CentOS 5 distribution without adding any updates from CentOS. I am using the lustre 1.6.4.1 kernel and software. I have two NICs that run though different switches. I have the lustre options in my modprobe.conf to look like this: options lnet networks=tcp0(eth1,eth0) My MGS seems to be only listening on the first interface however. When I try and ping the 1st interface (eth1)

Hi all, I''m getting my feet wet in the infiniband lake and of course I run into some problems. It would seem I got the compilation part of sles11 kernel 2.6.27 + Lustre 1.8.3 + ofed 1.4.2 right, because it allows me to see and use the infiniband fabric, and because ko2iblnd loads without any complaints. In /etc/modprobe.d/lustre (this is a Debian system, hence this subdir of

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

Hello, I''ve several problems with quota on our testcluster: When I set the quota for a person to a given value (e.g. the values which are provided in the operations manual), I''m able to write exact the amount which is set with setquota. But when I delete the files(file) I''m not able to use this space again. Here is what I''ve done in detail: lfs checkquota

Greetings! I am working with Lustre-2.1.2 on RHEL 6.2. First I configured it using the standard defaults over TCP/IP. Everything worked very nicely usnig a real, static --mgsnode=a.b.c.x value which was the actual IP of the MGS/MDS system1 node. I am now trying to integrate it with Pacemaker-1.1.7. I believe I have most of the set-up completed with a particular exception. The "lctl

Hello, lfs prints different obd(idx) compared to lctl dl. We use single striping. cluster1 tmp # lfs find --obd scia-OST0017_UUID /data/scia/L0/V0.00/20100327/SCI_NL__0PNPDE20100327_193441_000040582088_00071_42209_1158.N1 /data/scia/L0/V0.00/20100327/SCI_NL__0PNPDE20100327_193441_000040582088_00071_42209_1158.N1 cluster1 tmp # lfs getstripe

This is the strangest problem I have seen. I have a lustre filesystem mounted on a linux server and its being exported to various alpha systems. The alphas mount it just fine however under heavy load the NFS server stops responding, as does the lustre mount on the export server. The weird thing is that if i mount the nfs export on another nfs server and run the same benchmark (bonnie) everything

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*

Afternoon I upgraded our oss''s from 1.8.3 to 1.8.4 on Saturday (due to https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22755) and suffered a great deal of pain. We have 30 oss''s of multiple vintages. The basic difference between them is * md on first 20 nodes * 3ware 9650SE ML12 on last 10 nodes After the upgrade to 1.8.4 we were seeing terrible throughput on the nodes with

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

Hi all, after installing a Lustre test file system consisting of 34 OSTs, I encountered a strange error when trying to set up quotas: lfs quotacheck gave me an "Input/Output error", while in /var/log/kern.log I found a Lustre error LustreError: 20807:0:(quota_check.c:227:lov_quota_check()) lov idx 32 inactive Indeed, in /proc/fs/lustre/lov/.../target_obd all 34 OSTs were listed

Some clients have been removed several weeks ago but are still listed in: ls -l /proc/fs/lustre/obdfilter/*/exports/ This was found after tracing back mystery tcp packets to the OSS. Although this is causing no damage, it raises the question of when former clients will be cleared from the OSS. Is there a way to manually remove these exports from the OSS? -- Regards, David
