I'm certainly not Andreas. That said... You're running an MPI simulation, assumingly across most or all of your 34 compute nodes. Lustre server operations, their lnet activity and the backend storage I/O will create a profound imbalance on the few compute nodes you designate to do both server and

As I can remember, the BeeGFS is free, but some features are NOT, like the BeeOND. I did some detailed research years ago for my project. Best, Feng On Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 3:54 PM Feng Zhang wrote: > > Yes. I do not have a chance to use BeeGFS, while I know some > institutes use

I believe in Linux is possible to limit the memory used by a user and also it is possible to limit the amount of cpu used so I can limit resources for group user and also if i put oss server in a vm i suppose i can limit cpu and memory usage. My scenario is: i have 34 compute nodes 512 GB RAM

In theory it should work, but may have some performance issues though. This idea is also similar to BeeGFS BeeOND (BeeGFS on-demand). Should run computer(client) nodes in VM, or container, to avoid any users' app to crash the whole node intentionally or not. Best, Feng On Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at

Hello everyone, We are in progress to integrate Lustre on our little HPC Cluster and we would like to know if it is possible to use the same node in a cluster to act as an OSS with disks and to also use it as a Compute Node and then install a Lustre Client. I know that the OSS server require a
