[Lustre-discuss] Future of lustre 1.8.3+

[Heiko Schröter]

Hello,

does the following procedure "look" right installing a patched kernel src (i.e. SLES11) and lustre 1.8.3 plus the e2fsprogs.sun2 ?


a) Unpack i.e. SLES 11 Kernel src.
(I don't know for sure if the links are really needed, because the Kernel is allready patched.)
cd SLES11kernelDir
ln -s ../lustre-1.8.3/lustre/kernel_patches/patches patches
ln -s ../lustre-1.8.3/lustre/kernel_patches/series/2.6-sles11.series series
make menuconfig et.al.

b) Reboot new patched kernel.

c) Install the LUSTRE 1.8.3 modules
depmod -a

d) Install E2FSPROG:
tar -xzf e2fsprogs-1.41.10-sun2-patches.tar.gz
tar -xzf e2fsprogs-1.41.10.sun2.tgz
cd e2fsprogs-1.41.10.sun2
mkdir build
ln -s ../e2fsprogs-1.41.10-sun2-patches patches
ln -s ../e2fsprogs-1.41.10-sun2-patches/series series
quilt push -av
cd build
../configure --with-lustre=/usr/src/lustre-1.8.3 --enable-fsck
make && make install

Doing a) to d) on every MDS/OSS before doing e)

e) Continue with Chapter 13 "Upgrading lustre".


Thanks for any corrections if the above proc is broken.

Regards
Heiko
