Eric,
Are you working on supporting multiple instances of the non-TCP LNDs
(e.g. multiple o2ib)?
If so, let me know so I can work on mxlnd.
Thanks,
Scott

If a server only has one NID there is no ambiguity. Otherwise,
lustre chooses a NID by asking LNET what the network "distance" to
all the server's NIDs are, and picks the "best" one as follows...
1. Compare hop counts. The NID that is reached by traversing fewer
routers wins.
2. Compare rank. Find the local network that you must send on to
reach the given NID and compare the order in which the these
networks appear in the "networks" or "ip2nets" module parameter.
The local network listed first wins.
Cheers,
Eric

Subject: [Lustre-discuss] Multiple LNDs?
Is there an issue around mounting multiple lustrefs's using
different lnds?
I have a situation in the not too distant future where I'm
going to want to be
able to mount at least two, one over socklnd, and one over a
custom lnd. It
occured to me that I don't know how to configure that, and
don't know if
there's anything in the code which will prevent it. Anybody ever
done
anything similar? Hints?
Thanks in advance...
