Re: [lustre-discuss] Does lustre 2.10 client support 2.5 server ?

2017-11-27 Thread Riccardo Veraldi
I had a problems between 2.9.0 servers and 2.10.1 clients.
Actually from 2.10.1 clients I can list directories and files on my
Lustre FS OSTs, but I am not able to access any file for reading or writing.
I solved the problem decreasing the number of peer credits in ko2iblnd
to 8 instead of 128, client side.
This worked but I do not know exactly what is causing this problem.
these are the errors I was getting.

If people are having problems like this, it would be useful to know the
details.  If you are using a non-Intel release, you should go through your
support provider, since they know the most details about what patches are
in their release.

This is a standard message if your client/server versions are more than 0.4 
releases apart.  While Lustre clients and servers negotiate the supported 
features between them at connection time, so there should be broad 
interoperability between releases, we only test between the latest major 
releases (e.g. 2.5.x and 2.7.y, or 2.7.y and 2.10.z), it isn't possible to test 
interoperability between every release.

2 of our storage appliances (sonnexion 1600 based) run 2.5.1, I've
mounted this OK on infiniband clients fine with 2.10.0 and 2.10.1 OK,
but a colleague has since had to downgrade some of our clients to
2.9.0 on OPA / KNL hosts as we were seeing strange issues (can't
remember the ticket details)

We do see the warnings at startup:
Lustre: Server MGS version (2.5.1.0) is much older than client.
Consider upgrading server (2.10.0)

Re: [lustre-discuss] Does lustre 2.10 client support 2.5 server ?

2017-11-08 Thread Gabriele Iannetti
Hi Eli,

as I can tell, we are running the Lustre Client 2.10 with a 2.5 version
in the backend without problems since 1 month so far.

If you are running the Robinhood Policy Engine with that setup, you
probably will get the conflict we had here during the changelog
processing phase. We got an error regarding the Lustre changelog API, so
we are running an older Lustre client version on the Robinhood client
that works pretty well.


Best regards
Gabriele

FWIW, we have successfully been running 2.9 clients (RHEL 7.3) with 2.5.3 
servers (RHEL 6.6) at a small scale. About 40 OSSes and dozens of 2.9 clients 
with hundreds of 2.5.3 clients mixed in.

Hi Biju,
The 2.10 client is multi-rail aware while the 2.5 server is not there have been 
multiple reports on the list and several open bugs that this combination 
doesn't work.
A 2.9 client may work but in general it is my understanding that compatibility 
is only check 1 version back (so 2.9-2.8 etc.).
