Hi, It has come to our attention that Lustre is occasionally found to be difficult to configure and manage. To address this, we are exploring options for improving our configuration tools for Lustre, including replacing lustre_config completely. However, we want to engage our user community as much as possible in this effort, since that help ensure the tools we end up with will be a good fit for those who use it the most. For instance, the new tool "Shine" (CEA's rewrite of Bull's admin tools) looks very promising and I encourage everyone interested in this to check it out: http://shine-wiki.async.eu/wiki/ Home. Does anyone know of other tools or efforts underway to build one? Ideally, I'd like to concentrate efforts on one solution, and declare this to be the "official" tool.
On related note, what do people use to monitor Lustre? Of course there is LMT (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmt/), and I've heard reports of others using nagios and/or ganglia, as well. Anything else? Should we start documenting these on a "best practices" wiki page? cheers, robert _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
