Not using heartbeat (Lustre 1.8.4 manual section 8.3?).  As we've added OSS, we've never explicitly placed the machine names in any configuration.  Furthermore, no IP changes will be made, just the DNS name, so perhaps we are safe after all? bob O

I think that Andreas got confused and thought that you want rename OST. Renaming OSS is easy and don't require any Lustre reconfiguration if your Lustre configuration is based on IP addresses and not hostnames. If you have heartbeat, you need to change names in configuration Best regards, Wojci

Yes, just the DNS name. From Andreas' response, it would seem this is not something I want to do. bob On 12/13/2010 4:11 PM, Lundgren, Andrew wrote: > Are you talking about renaming the DNS name of the host machine, or something > else? > > -Original Message- > From: lustre-discuss-bou

For administrative reasons, we want to rename an OSS. It will retain the same IP addresses, and have the same OST. Does this present any problems that I should be aware of, or is it a no-brainer? Thanks, bob ___ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-di

[Lustre-discuss] New lustre 1.8.5 over IB problem

2010-12-13 Thread Gary Molenkamp
I'm attempting to deploy a new lustre filesystem using lustre 1.8.5, but this is my first stab at incorporating an IB network. I've deployed several over tcp using 1.8.4 without issue, so I'm not sure if there is an IB configuration or a 1.8.5 issue here. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thi
