[Lustre-discuss] how to set default NID

[Wojciech Turek]

Hi,

I have following lustre NID configuration:
lctl list_nids returns on

mds:
10.143.245.3 at tcp1
10.44.245.3 at tcp2


oss:
10.143.245.2 at tcp1
10.44.245.2 at tcp2

client :
10.143.1.8 at tcp1
10.44.1.8 at tcp2

I mount client using following command:


mount -t lustre 10.44.245.3 at tcp2:/testfs /mnt/testfs

Now if I run dd to /mnt/testfs on client I can see that all tcp  
traffic is going over 10.143.1.8

Is there a way to tell client which NID to use as default if there is  
two  NID's configured?

cheers
