[Lustre-discuss] Help! Newbie trying to set up Lustre network

[Xiang, Yang]

I am completely new to this and have a simple question.

The lustre version I am using is 1.8.5 on  SLES10 x86_64 machines.

 

I've set up a server with combined MGS and OST on "eth2" with an lnet
entry in modprobe.conf:

options lnet networks=tcp0(eth2)

 

and the ip address for eth2 is: 192.168.0.2

 

when I do "lctl list_nids" on the server, it correctly responds by:

192.168.0.2 at tcp

And on a client, I only installed lustre-client-modules-<ver> and
lustre-client-<ver> rpms. And I can ping the server.

 

However, when I tried to mount the lustre on the client by doing:

mount -t lustre 192.168.0.2 at tcp0:/temp /lustre

 

It fails and complains about:

mount.lustre: mount 192.168.0.2 at tcp0:/temp at /lustre failed: No such
device

Are the lustre modules loaded?

Check /etc/modprobe.conf and /proc/filesystems

Note 'alias lustre llite' should be removed from modprobe.conf

 

 

Any idea what's going on there?

 

Please help. I am reading the LNET configuration chapter and could not
find anything relating to client side NID correlation.

 

Thanks,

 

Yang
