[Lustre-discuss] Lustre over two TCP interfaces

The virtual inferface will be the OSS. A virtual IP will start in the first interface, and if the network attached to the first interface is failed, the virtual IP is move to the second interface.
I need have two networks, because I need to guarantee to my clients a network in HA and minimized the lustre downs for networks maintenance.

That will probably be slow - the machine you use to proxy the IPVS address would be a bottleneck. Out of curiosity, what problem are you trying to solve here? Do you anticipate whole-subnet outages to be an issue (and if so, why)?

oooh!
Thanks for you reply! May be another way is a floating IP between two interfaces with IPVS (corosync).

is it possible?
I stand to be corrected, but no, I don't think so. As I understand it
the failover code looks for a different server instance, rather than a
different nid.

Unless something has changed in the new versions of lustre, I don't
think lustre can do failover between nids on the same machine.
It can choose the available nid at mount time, but if an active nid goes
away after you are mounted then the client chooses the failover nid, and
this must be on a different server.
Check the archives for more discussion in this topic :)

thank Michael,
This is my second step, I will change the lnet with “options lnet
networks=tcp0(bond0,bond1)” because my machines has 4 nics. I have a
bond0 and bond1 with LACP. I need to comunicate the clients with two
network for HA network.
If the bond0 network is down, the clients can reach the OSS by the
second network bond1.
If I change the modprobe with “options lnet
networks=tcp0(bond0),tcp1(bond1)”, how the clients mount the filesystem
to reach the OSS by two network?

Different interfaces need to be declared with different LNET networks -
something like "networks=tcp0(eth0),tcp1(eth1)". Of course, that
assumes your clients are configured to use a mix of tcp0 and tcp1 for
connections (with each client only using one of the two). This is
really only useful in corner cases, when you're doing something strange;
if eth0 and eth1 are in the same subnet (as in your example), this is
almost certainly not productive.
A better bet might be to use a single LNET, and bond the two interfaces
together - either as an active/passive pair, or active/active (e.g.,
LACP). Then you'd declare networks=tcp0(bond0), give the bond a single
IP address, and client traffic would be split across the two members in
the bond more like you probably expect (given the limits of the bond
protocol you're using).

hello friends,
I need to comunicate my OSS by two ethernet TCP interfaces: eth0 and
eth1.
I have configured this feature in my modprobe.d with:
“options lnet networks=tcp0(eth0,eth1)”
And I can see two interfaces with:
lctl --net tcp interface_list
sa-d4-01.ceta-ciemat.es <http://sa-d4-01.ceta-ciemat.es>:
(192.168.11.15/255.255.255.0 <http://192.168.11.15/255.255.255.0>)
npeer 0 nroute 2
sa-d4-01.ceta-ciemat.es <http://sa-d4-01.ceta-ciemat.es>:
(192.168.11.35/255.255.255.0 <http://192.168.11.35/255.255.255.0>)
npeer 0 nroute 0
But, the clients only can communicate with the first interface:
lctl ping 192.168.11.15
12345-0 at lo
12345-192.168.11.15 at tcp
lctl ping 192.168.11.35
failed to ping 192.168.11.35 at tcp: Input/output error
Any suggestions how to “enable” the second interface?
thank in advance
