I don't MR is really the right tool for the JOB you are trying to accomplish.

There are 2 was to add tcp client to an existing o2ib system.


1.       Add Lnet Routers to meet the performance goals you have.    I would 
start here it is the least invasive way and the much more documented.

http://wiki.lustre.org/LNet_Router_Config_Guide#LNet is a good read on the 
topic.



2.       Add new TCP Nids on your Lustre servers and update the Lustre target.  
You can serve the same namespace over different fabric types there is some 
tradeoff with some of the internal RPC for locking and whatnot that can 
increase the time it takes for some actions to the speed it can do on the 
slowest fabric.  This is an experts only activity to update the nids on 
existing targets but it is a 2nd way to do it.

Thanks,
Keith

Subject: [lustre-discuss] Lustre Multi-Rail on 2 Network Types


Hello!



We have some clients which cannot be attached to our OmniPath network but are 
attached to the Ethernet network. We were looking at using Multi-Rail on our 
Lustre servers in order to export the file system on both networks. But, we 
haven't been able to make much progress.



Has anyone done anything like this? If so, how? Do we need to implement an LNet 
router?



Thanks!
