[lustre-discuss] Determining server version from client

[Degremont, Aurelien]

Hi Andrew,

There are no such things as a filesystem version, as a filesystem is made of MDTs, OSTs and clients. Each of them could have different Lustre versions (even if running too much different lustre versions between MDT and OST is not really supported).
So, to get the Lustre version, you should check server versions, with this command by example:

$ lctl get_param *.*.import | grep target_version

The local Lustre client version could be read with


$ lctl get_param version

    Hi All,

    Is there a trivial command to determine the server side version of
    lustre (in my case, trying to confirm what types of quotas are allowed
    (project - 2.10+, default - 2.12+) ?

    I was hoping there'd be something in lfs, such as lfs getname
    --version which would ideally spit out something like

    $ lfs getname --version
    fs1-ffff9920dde7d000 /fs1 2.10.4
    testfs-ffff992073597800 /testfs 2.12.5

    but that's wishful thinking :-) as lfs --version merely gives me the
    client version as expected

    Is this something that's fairly trivial and I'll open a jira ticket
    for the request - I know it's done at mount time as the kernel can log
    kernel: Lustre: Server MGS version (2.5.1.0) is much older than
    client. Consider upgrading server (2.12.5)

    Many thanks

    Andrew
