[Lustre-discuss] Lustre installation and configuration problems

[Arden Wiebe]

Carlos:

I'm not clear on which kernel package you tried to install.  There is pretty much a set order to install the packages from my understanding of the wording in the manual.  From experience:

rpm -ivh kernel-lustre-smp-2.6.18-92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh lustre-1.8.0-2.6.18_92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0smp.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh lustre-ldiskfs-3.0.8-2.6.18_92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0smp.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh lustre-modules-1.8.0-2.6.18_92.1.17.el5_lustre.1.8.0smp.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uvh e2fsprogs-1.40.11.sun1-0redhat.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

Hope that helps as that order has worked for me many times.

Arden
