Hi everyone, Appreciate your help. I launched a Rocky8 instance on AWS and followed the instructions below. Have my Lustre server running at last https://wiki.whamcloud.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=258179277 https://github.com/DetlevCM/lustre-build-instructions/blob/main/lustre_server_rocky8.10.md
After weeks of trial-and-error, this success feels fantastic.
