I am trying to set up a test deployment of Lustre 2.7.
I pulled RPMS from http://lustre.org/download/ and installed them on a
set of server running Scientific Linux 6.6 which seems to be a proper OS
for deployment. Everything installs and I can format the filesystems on
the MDS (1) and OSS (2) servers. When I try and mount the OST files
systems, I get communication errors. I can "lctl ping" the servers from
each other, but cannot establish communication between the MDS and OSS.
The installation is on servers connected over Infiniband (Qlogic DDR 4X).
In trying to diagnose the issues related to the error messages, I found
mention in some list discussions that o2ib is broken in the
2.6.32-504.8.1 kernel.
After much frustration, I pulled a nightly build from
build.hpdd.intel.com (kernel 2.6.32-573.8.1.el6_lustre.g8438f2a.x86_64)
and tried the same set up. Everything worked as I expected.
Am I missing something? Is the default release pointed to at
https://downloads.hpdd.intel.com/ for 2.7 broken in some way? Is it just
the hardware I am trying to deploy against?
I can provide specifics about the errors I see, I am just posting this
to make sure I am pulling the Lustre RPM's from the proper source.
