Taking note from another thread, I ran some ping tests between my machines in 
rack b to their peers in both rack b and rack a.

The machines in rack b can ping those in a, but not those in b.  I get the 
following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#  lctl ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
failed to ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Input/output error
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#  lctl ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
failed to ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Input/output error
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#  lctl ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
failed to ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Input/output error
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#  lctl ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]#  lctl ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
failed to ping [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Input/output error
The one that works above, is the the machine that I ran the ping from (It can 
ping itself).

Subject: [Lustre-discuss] Odd connectivity problem...

I am trying to bring up our first "real" lustre cluster and running into an 
unexpected problem.

Let me dump out some background on the configuration first:

I am running CentOS 5.0 x86_64bit with Lustre 1.6.4.2.

I have 2 racks of machines located next to each other.  Each rack has its own 
router.

Each router has its own subnet.

Each machine has 2 NICs one that is connected into the local rack, and one 
connected into adjacent rack.

Each machine has local disks in it that serve as the OST storage.

Each machine has a lustre client running on it with visibility into the lustre 
cluster.

We are not using bonding, so each machine has visibility into each subnet via 
the cross connecting.

We have this options lnet networks=tcp0(eth1,eth0) in the modprobe.conf file.

We are not yet using a routing protocol yet.  The default route out for each 
machine it's local router connected to eth0.

ASCII Pictures:

Machines in Rack A are all wired like this:

RACK A                        RACK B
--------------------       ----------------------
|Router (4.23.37.1)|       |Router A (4.23.36.1)|
--------------------       ---------------------
    | eth0 (4.23.37.10)         |
----------                      |
| Machine |--eth1--(4.23.36.42)-|
---------- def gw (4.23.37.1)



Machines in Rack B are all wired like this:


RACK A                        RACK B
--------------------       ----------------------
|Router (4.23.37.1)|       |Router A (4.23.36.1)|
--------------------       ---------------------
        |                           | eth0 (4.23.36.10)
        |                      ----------
        --eth1--(4.23.37.42)--| Machine |
          def gw (4.23.36.1)  ----------


The primary MGS is at the top of one of the racks  (RACK A for this email.)

The machines are all up and running with lustre on them, they can ping/ssh 
between each other.

No for the problem,  All of the clients in rack A, the rack with the MGS can 
see all of the OSTs being served from all of the OSSs in both racks.
The clients in rack B can only see the MGS and the OSSes in rack A, none in 
their own rack, rack B.  They all show timeouts like this:

I am a bit stuck.
