[Lustre-discuss] Install Lustre on SLES 10 with Infiniband

[Liang Zhen]

Hi,

Build Lustre against OFED 1.2.x

1. Lustre supports OFED 1.2.0 since 1.6.1

2. 1.6.1 - 1.6.3 can only support OFED 1.2.0

3. To run lustre over 1.2.5, two patches are needed:
   https://bugzilla.lustre.org/attachment.cgi?id=12508
   https://bugzilla.lustre.org/attachment.cgi?id=12629

   These patches have been landed to LNet HEAD

4. If got problem like "disagrees about version of symbol ib_create_cq" 
while
   loading ko2iblnd.ko:
   a) If <prefix>/src/openib/Module.symvers exists
      copy this file to <lustre>/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd and build lustre

   b) If <prefix>/src/openib/Module.symvers doesn't exist
      Run this script in /lib/modules/<kernel version>/build/ and build 
lustre
      https://bugzilla.lustre.org/attachment.cgi?id=10827

   To get more details about this, please read:

   https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12316

Regards
Liang
