Hi All,

 

I am trying to run Lustre over iWARP. For this I have compiled
Lustre-1.8.1.1 with linux-2.6.18-128.7.1 source and OFED-1.5 source.

I have installed all the required rpms for lustre.

 

After this I booted into  the lustre patched kernel and gave the
following option in /etc/modprobe.conf for lnet to work with o2ib

#> cat /etc/modprobe.conf

options lnet networks="o2ib0(eth2)"

 

I loaded our RDMA adapter modules and the lnet and ko2iblnd modules as
follows:

#> modprobe cxgb3

#> modprobe iw_cxgb3

#> modprobe rdma_ucm

#> modprobe lnet

#> modprobe ko2iblnd

 

I was able to load all the modules successfully.

 

Then I assigned the ip address to eth2 interface and brought it up

#> ifconfig eth2 102.88.88.188/24 up

#> ifconfig

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:48:C7:8F:8E

After this I tried to bring the lnet network up as follows:

#> lctl network up

LNET configured

 

Above command gave me following error in dmesg

#> dmesg

Lustre: Listener bound to eth2:102.88.88.188:987:cxgb3_0

Lustre: Register global MR array, MR size: 0xffffffff, array size: 2

fmr_pool: Device cxgb3_0 does not support FMRs

LustreError: 4134:0:(o2iblnd.c:1393:kiblnd_create_fmr_pool()) Failed to
create FMR pool: -38

Lustre: Added LNI 102.88.88.188 at o2ib [8/64/0/0]

 

I repeat the same procedure on the other node of lustre and found the
same result.

Then I tried to do lctl ping between two nodes of lustre, which gave me
following error:

 

#> lctl ping 102.88.88.184 at o2ib

failed to ping 102.88.88.184 at o2ib: Input/output error

 

dmesg has shown following error:

#> dmesg

LustreError: 2453:0:(o2iblnd.c:801:kiblnd_create_conn()) Can't create
QP: -12, send_wr: 2056, recv_wr: 18

Lustre: 2453:0:(o2iblnd_cb.c:1953:kiblnd_peer_connect_failed()) Deleting
messages for 102.88.88.184 at o2ib: connection failed

 

I found one thread where it has given the patch to support FMR in o2ib.
But I don't think this patch is applicable for lustre-1.8.1.1.

Can anyone please guide me on this.

 

Thank you very much in advance.
