[Lustre-discuss] "up" a router that is marked "down"

[Temple Jason]

I've found that even with the Protocal Error, it still works.

You'll want to add the "dead_router_check_interval" lnet module
parameter as soon as you are able.  As near as I can tell, without
that there's no automatic check to make sure the router is alive.

I've had some success in getting machines to recognize that a router
is alive again by doing an lctl ping of their side of a router (e.g.,
on a tcp0 client, `lctl ping <routerIP>@tcp0`, then `lctl ping
<routerIP>@o2ib0` from an o2ib0 client).  If you have a server/client
version mismatch, where lctl ping returns a protocol error, you may be
out of luck.
