Hi Markham, Maybe think of Lustre as a bunch of different components... While you can combine the components (server services and client services) on one node, you can also put each service on a different node, and connect them via a network.
To begin, I suggest using just one node. Start all the server services, and then start the client service. Then start and stop it all a few times. Once you get the hang of it, then split the server services to different nodes, and put the client on it's own node also.
