[lustre-discuss] Lustre Client on Ubuntu 20.04

[Emyr James]

Hi,

Thanks for the info. Our server side will get upgraded to 2.12.7 LTS in a few months so looking for a more modern OS than redhat 6.7!

Does the 2.14 client work with the 2.12.7 LTS...and even with 2.7?

Many thanks,

Emyr,

2.10.8 is a fairly old version and I am pretty sure it won't build for Ubuntu 20.04.  The most recent kernel it's known to build for is Linux 4.4.x, and Ubuntu 20.04 is at least 5.4.x.

The only version which officially has support for 20.04 is Lustre 2.14 (and the upcoming 2.15).

For Ubuntu builds, the instructions here give the basic steps:
https://wiki.lustre.org/Compiling_Lustre

And the other sections have instructions which will help you with adding in MOFED.

Just bear in mind the comments about version compatibility.

Dear all,

We currently have a lustre 2.7 system running on redhat 6.7.
The 2.10.8 client has been tested on redhat 6.7 and works fine (using Mellanox OFED).
I'd like to get a 2.10.8 client running on Ubuntu 20.04 which is compatible with Mellanox OFED.
I haven't found any instructions on how to build just the client side on Ubuntu. Does anyone have instructions or can point me to a howto somewhere?


Many thanks.
