For the record, we recommend against running anything except Lustre on Lustre servers.

We don't rebuild the kmod-* RPMs with our patched kernel, per the above. Everything you need to run a Lustre server with a Lustre patched kernel is in the kernel and lustre-modules RPMs. If you want to do anything beyond that, you will have to rebuild the kmod-* RPMs yourself. > 2) Supposing that these four modules (ksm.ko, kvm-amd.ko, > kvm-intel.ko, and kvm.ko) can be found somewhere, is the > underlying lustre kernel mentioned above, compiled with a configuration > such that it could run them? I'm not sure. Given that it is not a use-case we support, it's entirely likely that it's not. b.
