[Lustre-discuss] Mount 2 clusters, different networks - LNET tcp1-tcp2-o2ib - solved?

Hi all,

this seems to work with the correct IPs and correct network names ;-[]
I now have the following modprobe on my ethernet client:
 > options lnet networks=tcp1(eth0),tcp0(eth0:0) routes="o2ib LNET-Router at tcp1; tcp Default-Route at tcp1"

With these options, loading the modules gives me
 > Jun 14 20:12:55 kernel: Lustre: Added LNI 10.12.70.183 at tcp1 [8/256/0/180]
 > Jun 14 20:12:55 kernel: Lustre: Added LNI 10.12.0.21 at tcp [8/256/0/180]
which are the IPs of eth0 and eth0:0.


Now I still wonder why the alias interface eth0:0 is necessary (if left out, the whole endeavor 
fails). The routes=statement seems to say: "If you have data for tcp, use the Default-Router-IP and go 
via the interace that is on network tcp1".

Oh well, I should probably take some networking lectures...

Regards,
Thomas
