I can just add gni1 to all nodes. Does anyone know how to add additional network to LNET without reloading kernel module? Currently it can't be done without reloading the kernel modules. However, the LNet Dynamic Control project is close to completion, which makes it possible to do something similar to ifdown/ifup without reloading kernel modules. - Isaac ___ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
Re: [Lustre-discuss] Adding iSCSI SAN to Lustre
Jon, Any block device, be it disk, RAID, IB SRP or iSCSI requires an OSS node to front end the block storage. If the iSCSI storage device was a storage server with a software iSCSI layer you could potentially strip out the iSCSI software and lay down Linux and Lustre on it. Without knowing exactly what iSCSI system it is my statement about stripping out the software is a generalization. --Jeff On 1/28/13 4:13 PM, Jon Yeargers wrote: I may have an opportunity to repurpose an existing iSCSI SAN device. If I wanted to add it to an existing Lustre setup (or create a new one) – my understanding is that I would need a machine to act as the ‘communications link’ to Lustre from the SAN device. Something has to represent the OSS device – right? An iSCSI storage device would need a representative for this.. ? Does that make any sense? ___ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss -- -- Jeff Johnson Co-Founder Aeon Computing jeff.john...@aeoncomputing.com www.aeoncomputing.com t: 858-412-3810 x101 f: 858-412-3845 m: 619-204-9061 /* New Address */ 4170 Morena Boulevard, Suite D - San Diego, CA 92117 ___ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
