Seems I found it:

First do "lctl network up", then do "lnetctl net add".

Of course the network is already up - how would my client use Lustre for 100s 
of days and 100s of TB without lnet? ;-)
But it is all started, say after a reboot, by mounting Lustre. mount.lustre does load all modules and starts all processes, works fine for all but "lnetctl", which is capricious and wants the "network up" explicitly.


Cheers,
Thomas

Hi all,


I have a test node and some active batch nodes, all running Lustre 2.10.3

They all have Lustre-1 mounted on the lnet "o2ib1" via "ib0".


Now I try to add another net with

lnetctl net add --net o2ib5 --if ib0

This works on the test client but fails on the production nodes with

add:
     - net:
           errno: -22
           descr: "cannot add network: Invalid argument"


Other than the busy lnet on the production nodes I cannot see any difference. 
What did I miss?


Regards,
Thomas
