I'm trying to implement Lustre failover and I think I've gotten things
working. Clients that are connected when the failover happens keep disk I/O
through the failover. Now, I'm testing if a client tries to mount the FS
when the MGS is in failover and I can't seem to get it to work.

Situation:
Lustre 1.6.0.1 on Debian etch vanilla 2.6.20.12 kernel
head2-1 is the MGS primary server (along with one MDT and 2 OSTs, one OST
will be moved to another machine later)
head2-2 is the fail-over for all of head2-1 services and has 1 MDT and 2 OST
as its primary serives which failover to head2-1

All MDTs and OSTs have both machines listed as MGSnodes and each have their
partner as failnodes.

When I execute:
mount -t lustre [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home /home

I get the following error message:
mount.lustre: mount [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home at /home
failed: Input/output error
Is the MGS running?

I have the MGS on head2-1 and just swapped the order to simulate a failed
condition. The Ip address is correct for our Infiniband adapters. If I swap
them around it mounts just fine. What am I missing here?

Also if I don't specify o2ib, it only tries to use tcp and doesn't seem to
try to use o2ib on it's own.

Thanks,
