Reading up on LNET routing and have a question. Currently have nothing special going on, simply specified tcp0(bond0) on the OSSs and MDS. Same for all the clients as well, we have an internal network for our cluster, 192.168.x.x. How would I go about doing the following?
Data1,Data2 = OSS, Meta1,Meta2 = MDS. Internally its 192.168.1.x for cluster nodes, 192.168.5.x for lustre nodes. But I would like a 1) a 'forwarding' sever, which would be our file server which exports lustre via samba/nfs to also be the outside world's access point to lustre(outside world being the rest of the campus). 2) a second internal network simply connecting the OSSs and MDS to the backup client to do backups outside of the cluster network. So would I do the following? OSS/MDS options lnet networks=tcp0(bond0),tcp1(eth3) routes="tcp2 192.168.2.1" Backup client options lnet networks=tcp1(eth1) Cluster clients options lnet networks=tcp0(eth0) File Server options lnet networks=tcp0(eth1),tcp2(eth2) forwarding="enabled" And for any outside clients I would do the following? options lnet networks=tcp2(eth0) And when mounting from the outside I would use in /etc/fstab the external ip? x.x.x.x@tcp2:/lustre /lustre lustre defaults,_netdev 0 0 Is this how it would work? Also can I do this piece-meal or does it have to be done all at once? Thanks David -- Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector. They expect results. -Ray Ghostbusters _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
