Dear list,
I'm facing the following strange problem with orangefs.
I've just installed orangefs-2.8.5 for a client machine,
and I want to mount a file system via IB.
The client and the server does not share any ethernet connection,
but are only wired via IB.
In order to mount the parallel file system, I use, as usual the
following command :
mount -t pvfs2 ib://10.149.1.1:3335/pvfs2-fs /SCRATCH
but here, I get:
mount: Not a directory
Here, 10.149.1.1 is the IP infiniband address of the server, who
responds via ping.
Interestingly, the mount command works if I use another pvfs server
which, in addition
to an IB connection has also an ethernet connection with the client.
So, I suspect that at some point, in order to mount pvfs, it is
necessary that the client
and server being wired with an ethernet connection even if the file
system will be shared
with IB.
I'm I correcte ?
Is there a way to share pvfs without ethernet connection ?
Thanks in advance,
yves
