It seems that lustre puts its modules in /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-default despite the fact that my kernel is 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp ! uname -a Linux n32 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp #4 SMP Sun Sep 24 08:47:30 BST 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am''. /bin/sh ../../mkinstalldirs /lib/modules/2.6.16.21-0.8-default/kernel/fs/lustre /usr/bin/install -c -m 644

Hello, I am having trouble installing the server modules for lustre 2.1.4 and use mellanox''s OFED distribution so we may use infiniband. Would you folks look at my procedure and results below and let me know what you think? Thanks very much! The mellanox ofed installation builds and installs some kernel modules too, so I used this method to ensure OFED compiled against the correct

Hello, Not sure if this is the right forum: I''m encountering difficulties with o2ib which prevents an LNET shutdown from proceeding: Unloading OpenIB kernel modules:NET: Unregistered protocal family 27 Failed to unload rdma_cm Failed to unload rdma_cm Failed to unload ib_cm Failed to unload ib_sa LustreError: 131-3: Received notification of device removal Please shutdown LNET

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

What is the process for integrating a Lustre+SAMFS solution into an existing customer environment. The plan is to have CRS build the Lustre component, but Lustre and SAMFS will need to configured and integrated into the customer computing environment. I am very familiar with the SAMFS integration, but not Lustre integration. Do we have resources in PS to provide the integration? Is this

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, I''m seeing what can only be described as dismal striped write performance from lustre 1.6.3 clients :-/ 1.6.2 and 1.6.1 clients are fine. 1.6.4rc3 clients (from cvs a couple of days ago) are also terrible. the below shows that the OS (centos4.5/5) or fabric (gigE/IB) or lustre version on the servers doesn''t matter - the problem is with the 1.6.3 and 1.6.4rc3 client kernels

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

Hi, I am having problem to bring up the network using lustre 1.6.4.1 (2.6.18-8) with OFED-1.3 (InfiniBand). When I run lctl network up, I''m getting the following: LNET configure error 100: Network is down dmesg shows: LustreError: 21080:0:(api-ni.c:1025:lnet_startup_lndnis()) Can''t load LND o2ib, module ko2iblnd, rc=256 Note that the InfiniBand IPoIB network is working properly

I''m seeing this error message on one of my OSS''s but not the other three. Any idea what is causing it?

This morning I''ve had both my infiniband and tcp lustre clients hiccup. They are evicted from the server presumably as a result of their high load and consequent timeouts. My question is- why don''t the clients re-connect. The infiniband and tcp clients both give the following message when I type "df" - Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown (-108). I''ve

Hello, I''ve tried just some minutes ago to download the sourcecode of lustre from [1], but it failed with this error: An error occurred while processing your request. Reference #50.663007d9.1206002944.16ba5fe1 Does anybody have some hints how to get the lustre source code then? I need this tarball for the debian packaging. If someone could point me to an alternative download

Hello I''ve noticed that Lustre network error, especially LND errors, are considered as maskable errors. That means that on a production node, where debug mask is 0, those specific errors won''t be displayed if they happened. Does that mean that they are harmless? Do upper-layers resend their RPC/packet if LNDs report an error? When, in my case, o2iblnd says something like

We seemed to have it a stumbling block when building with the above (supported) versions. Our process... 1. Start with stock rhel5 2.6.18-8.1.14 source tree 2. Configure InfiniBand support out of the the kernel (we will build OFED separately). 3. Apply the 1.6.4.2 kernel patches to the kernel source. 4. Build the kernel. 5. Build OFED 1.2 against the patched kernel 6. Build Lustre using

Hi, I would like to know what TCP/UDP ports should i keep open in my firewall policies on my MGS server such that I can have my MGS server fire-walled. Also if in a event of loss of MGT would it be possible to recreate the MGT without loosing data or bringing the filesystem down (i.e. by using cached information from MDT''s and OST''s) Thanks Anand
