Re: [lustre-discuss] Rocky 9.2/lustre 2.15.3 client questions

2023-06-26 Thread Mountford, Christopher J. (Dr.) via lustre-discuss
Thanks Andreas - We tried the patch, it looks like there is also one other 
script that also use python2:

 contrib/scripts/gerrit_checkpatch.py

With both fixed, the dkms rpm appears to be built without the python2 
dependency, and dkms builds and installs the modules fine.

Many Thanks,
Christopher.

Applying the LU-16626 patch locally should fix the issue, and has no risk since 
it is only fixing a build issue that affects an obscure diagnostic tool.

That said, I've cherry-picked that patch back to b2_15, so it should be 
included into 2.15.4.

Hi,

I'm building the lustre client/kernel modules for our new HPC cluster and have 
a couple of questions:

1) Are there any known issues running lustre 2.15.3 clients and lustre 2.12.9 
servers? I haven't seen anything showstopping on the mailing list or in JIRA 
but wondered if anyone had run into problems.

2) Is it possible to get the dkms kernel rpm to work with Rocky/RHEL 9.2? If I 
try to install the lustre-client-dkms rpm I get the following error:

error: Failed dependencies:
   /usr/bin/python2 is needed by lustre-client-dkms-2.15.3-1.el9.noarch

- Not surprisingly as I understand that python2 is not available for rocky/rhel 
9

I see there is a patch for 2.16 (from LU-16626). Not a major problem as I can 
build kmod-lustre-client rpms for our kernel/ofed, but I would prefer to use 
dkms if possible.

Kind Regards,
Christopher.

Hi Christopher,

Not an exact match, but we've seen problems running Vasp on a 2.15.x 
client against 2.12.6 servers. It can get in quite a tangle, to the point 
that other clients cannot "ls -l" the Vasp working directory.


Don't know (yet) if it's also true of 2.12.9.

Best,

Mark
