Hi Parag,

I attended a presentation at LUG 2013 that talked about sharing Lustre
with Windows. The method was:
 + On your 'Windows' machine, first install Linux with the Lustre
client, and mount the Lustre file system.
 + Next, install Windows with KVM on the Lustre client, and use the
local Lustre mount from Windows.

The presentation is here:

If a video is available, there might be more discussion you can access
with that...

best regards,
Richard
