I tried downgrading the kernel and the lustre client (1.8.1.1) but the kernel-ib provided modules had some problems with my hca.  The newer kernel-ib package that comes with lustre client 1.8.4 did not have any issues.  Would it be possible for me to build/install my own ofed package and install just the lustre client rpms?  Do you see any issues with this setup?  Or should lustre be built from scratch all together?

Jagga,

We use our own OFED RPMs with Lustre clients using the Lustre client RPMs.  We also have some clients compiled from source due to the fact that we can't run stock kernels on some of our hardware.

Both work fine.
