Hi there, I have two Lustre filesystems using Infiniband as interconnect. Each filesystem has its own Infiniband network (physically separated from the other one), its own OSSs and its own storage devices (OSTs). From the Lustre clients of the first filesystem I need to access the second filesystem. For that purpose I would like to setup a Lustre router farm between the two Infiniband networks. The routers would have several IB interfaces, some of them connected to the IB network of the first filesystem, the others connected to the IB network of the second filesystem. I am wondering how many Lustre routers I will have to put. I mean, if I have an available bandwith of 100 on each side of a router, what will be the max reachable bandwith from clients on one side of the router to servers on the other side of the router? Is it 50? 80? 99? Is the routing process CPU or memory hungry?
Thanks in advance. Sebastien. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
