We are using a hacked up lustre_config (see bug 14095 & friends). I'm predicting that we'll continue on that path, adding features that were in lconf as we go. The centralized command & control are important features for us. We have a separate platform specific heartbeat. We will be adding a 'lconf --service' type approach for lustre_config in the near future to enable automatic failover on Lustre 1.6 Nic _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
