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

[Xiang, Yang]

I think my problem is that the client machine is also multihomed and has
5 network interfaces. When it tries to mount, it uses the eth0 and can
not reach the server.  I need to force it to use eth2 to talk to the
server.  I don't know how to do that from the client configuration
prospective.

Thanks for any hint,

Yang

Right.  So, if after such a command, lsmod still shows no lustre modules
loaded, then it would seem your system is not loading the modules on
demand, as it should.  Or that there is an issue in which they are
failing to install correctly.

You can try to manually load the modules before issuing the mount
command with:

# modprobe lustre

Of course, if that fails, the syslog kernel target and/or dmesg should
be informative of why.
