[Lustre-discuss] split OSTs from single OSS in 2 networks

 From Bugzilla, the patch has been introduced in Lustre 2.0 and bugfixed 
in 2.1.
There is a backport for 1.8 but this was never landed in official source 
code.
So it is not available in any 1.8 official releases.
Either you have to use Lustre 2.0 or patch 1.8.5

Regards,

Aurélien
