Greetings,
 
We are preparing to transition users from a Cray XT3 sytem to an XT4 system.  
In order to transfer the data between the two Lustre filesystems, we are 
looking at the possibility of having one system mount the other systems file 
system.  This would allow data to be copied directly.  However, we aren't 
certain if this will work.  Its not clear to me that the current routing 
implementation will handle two portals networks.  I can sort of see how we 
would define the ip2nets.  However, in looking at the router lines, it looks 
like we will need to specify portal nids.  It isn't clear to me how the system 
would distinguish a local portal nid from the same nid on the other system.   
Am I overlooking something?  This is a temporary situation.  We just need these 
mounts in place while we move the data.  So, even a temporary work around may 
be useful.
 
Thanks,
