I would use configuration on /etc/lnet.conf and I would not use anymore the older style configuration in

/etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf

for example in my /etc/lnet.conf configuration I have:

*ip2nets:
 - net-spec: o2ib
   interfaces:
      0: ib0
 - net-spec: tcp
   interfaces:
      0: enp24s0f0
global:
    discovery: 0*

As I disabled the auto discovery.

Regarding ko2ib you can just use /etc/modprobe.d/ko2iblnd.conf

Mine looks like this:

*options ko2iblnd peer_credits=128 peer_credits_hiw=64 credits=1024 ntx=2048 map_on_demand=256 fmr_pool_size=2048 fmr_flush_trigger=512 fmr_cache=1 conns_per_peer=4*

Hope it helps.

Hello,

I would like to know how to turn off auto discovery of peers on a client.  This seems like it should be straight forward but we can't get it to work. Please fill me in on what I'm missing.

We recently upgraded our servers to 2.14.  Our servers are multi-homed (1 tcp network and 2 separate IB networks) but we want them to be single rail.  On one of our clusters we are still using the 2.12.6 client and it uses one of the IB networks for lustre.  The modprobe file from one of the client nodes:

# cat /etc/modprobe.d/lustre.conf

options lnet networks=o2ib1(ib0)

options ko2iblnd map_on_demand=32

#

The client does have a route to the TCP network.  This is intended to allow jobs on the compute nodes to access licenese servers, not for any serious I/O.  We recently discovered that due to some instability in the IB fabric, the client was trying to fail over to tcp:

I'm pretty sure this is due to the auto discovery.  Again, from a client:

# lnetctl export | grep -e Multi -e discover | sort -u
     discovery: 0
       Multi-Rail: True
#

We want to restrict lustre to only the IB NID but its not clear exactly how to do that.

Here is one attempt:


[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# service lustre3 stop

Shutting down lustre mounts

Lustre modules successfully unloaded

[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# lsmod | grep lnet

[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# cat /etc/lnet.conf

global:

    discovery: 0

[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# service lustre3 start

Mounting /ephemeral... done.

Mounting /nobackup... done.

[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# lnetctl export | grep -e Multi -e discover | sort -u

    discovery: 1

Multi-Rail: True

[root@r1i1n18 lnet]#

And a similar attempt (same lnet.conf file), but trying to turn off the discovery before doing the mounts:

[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# service lustre3 stop
Shutting down lustre mounts
Lustre modules successfully unloaded
[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# modprobe lnet
[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# lnetctl set discovery 0
[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# service lustre3 start
Mounting /ephemeral... done.
Mounting /nobackup... done.
[root@r1i1n18 lnet]# lnetctl export | grep -e Multi -e discover | sort -u
     discovery: 0
       Multi-Rail: True
[root@r1i1n18 lnet]#

If someone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Darby
