[Lustre-discuss] Announce: Lustre 1.6.5 is available!

Thu Jun 26 08:44:26 PDT 2008

The reason is that the set of rpms published for lustre 1.6.5 on suns website 
is incomplete. 

The OFED modules that you get by installing the kernel-ib package are the ones that 
are mentioned below as missing.

It will all still work as long as you only use gigabit ethernet, but when you want
to use infiniband, then you are missing the essential bits, and have to either
build it yourself or pay SUN or your favorite system integrator to build the kernel-ib 
rpm for you.

Somebody published an inofficial tarball that is supposed to fit with redhat enterprise
linux 5.2 but right now I could not find it again by googling. The filename was 
OFED_1.3.1_lustre_1.6.5.tar.gz and the url to the file from my browser cache is
http://research.yale.edu/hpc/OFED_1.3.1_lustre_1.6.5.tar.gz . I have not had a chance
to test it yet. 

A relevant bugzilla entry might be https://bugzilla.lustre.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15316

Because, I think, the installation process tries to load the new
modules in the current kernel. So you have to reboot the machine using
the new kernel.
