[Lustre-discuss] multi-homed issues

[Philip Manuel]

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response. 

My /etc/modprobe.d/lustre now contains

options lnet networks=tcp0(eth0),tcp1(eth1)

I updated the partitions with the following:-

mgsnode=172.16.0.57 at tcp,172.17.11.250 at tcp1

On both of the MDT's lctl list_nids reports (note they have the above 
lnet entry in their /etc/modprobe.d/lustre file):-

172.16.0.51 at tcp
172.17.11.252 at tcp1

On clients, for either network, they do not have the lnet entry and lctl 
list_nids reports on the local machine ip address.  However, clients on 
the tcp0 network can mount the lustre partition.  Clients on the tcp1 
network cannot mount via the tcp1 IP address but can via the tcp network 
(with a another machine routing the traffic).

Do I need the same lnet module entry everywhere to make this work ?

Regards

Phil.
