[Lustre-discuss] Advice on system configuration

[Iain Grant]

We have an in house  27 node cluster. With no shared storage capability.

 

I have just order 2 storage nodes with extra drives in them and was
hoping I could use this with Lustre and provide a good shared storage
setup.

 

How would you suggest configuring this setup ?

 

Each node comes with dual network adapters so I was thinking about
bonding them together to provide more bandwidth ( our switch should
allow us to do this.)

 

Thanks

 

Iain
